Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli doubled down on his criticism of George Soros on Monday, claiming that the Jewish billionaire had done immense damage to Israel, despite recent widespread criticism that using similar rhetoric was an antisemitic trope.
The comments come the same day as a report that the Foreign Ministry had to intervene ahead of Chikli’s trip to Canada next week after complaints from the hosts that he would only be meeting with representatives of the far-right.
Chikli, whose ministerial portfolio includes combating antisemitism abroad, on Monday tweeted a screen grab of an opinion piece by staunch Israel supporter Alan Dershowitz published in the Wall Street Journal titled “Elon Musk is right about George Soros and not anti-Semitic.”
“‘No single person has done more to damage Israel’s standing in the world, especially among so-called progressives, than George Soros. Thank you Professor Dershowitz for telling the simple truth,” Chikli tweeted.
