A sharp attack by Piers Morgan against Minister Ben-Gvir

In a series of posts from May 23, 2026, the famous British journalist and presenter Piers Morgan attacked the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, using sharp language. Morgan lashed out at the minister: "You are a criminal or a lunatic" (as translated from the reports), and added that "with people like you in the Israeli government, it is no surprise that its standing around the world is plummeting."

The reports on this statement were published by two media outlets identified with an editorial line critical of Israeli policy: آخرین خبر and SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو. Both entities, which operate from Iran, highlighted Morgan's words as part of extensive coverage of international criticism of the political echelon in Israel.

According to آخرین خبر, Morgan emphasized that the figure of Minister Ben-Gvir constitutes a central factor in the erosion of international trust in Jerusalem. The SNN News Agency presented Morgan's words as further evidence of the trend of political isolation that Israel is experiencing, according to them, while placing emphasis on the personal and aggressive tone adopted by the British presenter toward the Israeli minister.
