During his program on 103FM radio, media personality Yinon Magal played a recording of businessman Rani Rahav - who spoke about the salary gap between the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense.

""To come and say that the Chief of Staff earns more than the Minister of Defense? Of course he earns more than the Minister of Defense. The Chief of Staff works 24/7, the Chief of Staff lives in a tent," Rahav stated.

Magal responded to his words: "Rani Rahav is a phenomenon. The man lives in Savyon in a house worth tens of millions, rich as a rock, but you look at him and ask - what am I missing? What event am I not understanding? This is a man who talks nonsense and nonsense. What kind of Chief of Staff lives in a tent, did you confuse the Gazans in Gaza with the tent?""

In response, Rahav posted a tweet on his X account. "Dear Yinon, you know I'm sick of you, but as someone like you, who earns the most a journalist in Israel has earned since the founding of the state, over 100,000 shekels per month, and I don't have a problem - so you complain about the salary of the Chief of Staff compared to the salary of the Minister of Defense?

""Yes, dear Yinon, while you were in a tent as a Sayeret Matkal fighter and you went on to make a lot of money and by right and not by grace, but the Chief of Staff, until he reached the position, slept in tents for years on operations and the like. So come on, dear Yinon, please spare me the matter and those who understand will understand. I feel sorry for you.".
