Friends of the IDF has invited controversial commentator Eliyahu Yossian to speak before a group of beneficiaries. He has previously claimed that Israel should have killed 50,000 Gazans in its immediate response to the October 7 massacre

Iranian-born Eliyahu Yossian, a virtual unknown until the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, has in recent months become a mainstay on Channel 14 – a right-wing pro-Netanyahu Israeli television station often likened to Fox News. The station is owned by Russian businessman Yitzchak Mirilashvili, the son of Georgian-born billionaire Mikhael Mirilashvili. 

A self-described expert on the Iranian regime, Yossian has also appeared on programs on other stations hosted by journalists with close ties to the right.
