Ari Emanuel tonight left no ambiguity of what he thinks about Benjamin Netanyahu.

Speaking at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s National Tribute Gala, where he was awarded its Humanitarian Prize, the Endeavor CEO blasted the Israeli prime minister, saying, “The time for Bibi Netanyahu to go has come.”

“This is a painful and crucial moment for all of us who are Jews. It is not a time to stay silent,” Emanuel said.

“Hamas could end this war today. This war needs to end … it’s not impossible,” he went on to declare to a few jeers upon recommending a negotiated peace to a two-state solution.

Sweeping aside the recent IOC war crimes claims against Netanyahu and the country’s Defense Minister, Emanuel lamented the “heartbreaking” death — which he briefly called “murder” — of children in Gaza. Taking a look around the globe at wars everywhere, Emanuel exclaimed, “Israel should not be held to a double standard.”

Added Emanuel added: “Netanyahu has tarnished the legacy that does not belong to him. We have a responsibility to speak out. The time for Bibi Netanyahu to go has come.”
