Eisenkot, what are you ashamed of? How not to run for prime minister | The Viewpoint

A column by Nave Dromi, host of 'Kabinet Shishi', sharply criticizes Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yashar!' party, for refusing to identify as a leftist. The author claims that Eisenkot, who aspires to be prime minister, is ashamed of his left-wing worldview and thereby harms his chances. She notes that Eisenkot is unwilling to admit he is left-wing, despite his positions—willingness to give up territories and sit with Ra'am—indicating so. The column compares his conduct to that of Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman, who, she says, successfully market themselves as right-wing. The article argues that the elections are between right and left, and the right is not ashamed of its positions, while the left is ashamed of its worldview. The author concludes by calling on Eisenkot to stop being ashamed and lead the left camp with pride.
