Eisenkot also joins the battle for religious Zionism: "The elections are about the identity of Israel"

The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, held a conference for religious Zionists in Givat Shmuel. Eisenkot stated that the upcoming elections are about Israel's identity as Jewish, democratic, and liberal. One attendee confronted Eisenkot, claiming he was dismissed from reserve duty because of him.

The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, held a conference for religious Zionists in Givat Shmuel, attended by hundreds of people. Participants included list members Shira Shapira, Matan Kahana, Hili Tropper, and Orit Farkash-Hacohen, as well as former NRP MKs Gila Finkelstein and Nahum Langenthal. In his speech, Eisenkot said the upcoming elections, in eight days, are about the identity of the State of Israel as Jewish, democratic, and liberal, and called for shared living. During the conference, one attendee confronted Eisenkot, claiming he was dismissed from reserve duty because of him and preferred to go with his Haredi brother. The incident illustrated the difficulty of connecting different groups in Israeli society around the idea of shared service. MK Matan Kahana said the Yashar party is the home of religious Zionism and called for renewing the covenant of service.
