Don't you dare!!!
Sima Kadmon calls on the leaders of the 'Camp of Correction' – Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Yair Golan, and Avigdor Lieberman – to reach agreements at their meeting on Saturday night and not to leave it as they entered. She warns against division, ego battles, and failure to topple the government, and calls for one bloc, one leadership, and mutual concessions.
Sima Kadmon writes an impassioned opinion piece addressed to the four leaders of the 'Camp of Correction' – Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Yair Golan, and Avigdor Lieberman – ahead of their planned meeting on Saturday night at Yair Lapid's home in Ramat Aviv. Kadmon describes the expected atmosphere at the meeting but emphasizes that the stakes are much higher than calming tensions. She recalls a similar meeting a year ago that fell apart and became a 'meeting that never was,' warning that repeating that pattern would be unforgivable. Kadmon demands that the four leave the meeting with one bloc, one leadership, mutual concessions, and a binding document. She notes Israel's dire situation: the campaign against Iran, Hezbollah's rearmament, crime in Arab society, the cost of living, erosion of reserves, and collapse of education and healthcare systems. She warns that international sanctions on settlements are making Israel a pariah. Kadmon calls on them to resolve the real dispute – the question of Arab parties – with a formula of partnership with those who recognize Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. The article concludes with a call to issue a short, signed, and binding statement defining principles: a Jewish and democratic state, equal rights, mandatory service for all, a state commission of inquiry for October 7, restoration of security and reserves, fighting crime and corruption, addressing the cost of living, and rehabilitating education and healthcare.
