Former IDF spokesman feuds with Piers Morgan over pro-Palestinian guests

Jul 02, 2026

A media fight has broken out over who gets a platform to criticize Israel, framed here as pro-Israel figures trying to silence critics rather than debate them.

  • Jonathan Kenriquez, a former IDF spokesman now working for the pro-Israel FDD group, went on other shows to trash Piers Morgan for booking guests critical of Israel.
  • Morgan pushed back on air, calling out Kenriquez for appearing dozens of times while privately smearing the show as a platform for "Jew haters."
  • The core complaint here: critics of Israel like Cenk, Ana Kasparian, and Mehdi Hassan get airtime, and Israel's defenders struggle to counter them in open debate.
  • A side clash centered on Iran, where a pro-Israel guest claimed 35,000-plus protesters were killed by Iran's regime but could not name a source, contrasted with trust in Gaza death-toll numbers.
  • The bigger argument: the US keeps funding Israel's wars while Americans struggle economically, so criticism is fair game.

Outlook: Expect the public sparring between Morgan, TYT, and pro-Israel commentators to keep running as long as Gaza and Iran stay in the headlines.
