Less than a month to elections: Eisenkot's campaign chief takes fire

In Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party, a harsh internal conflict is brewing less than a month before the elections. Party members have sharply criticized campaign manager Ronen Menlis, accusing him of excluding them from decisions and running the campaign in a centralized manner. The conflict peaked in a verbal confrontation between Menlis and Shaul Meridor, number 7 on the list, leading to a rift between them.

In Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party, a harsh internal conflict has been brewing behind the scenes in recent days, less than a month before the elections. The main cause of the dispute concerns the management of the party's campaign. Senior party sources say that campaign manager Ronen Menlis is excluding list members from key decisions and moves, creating growing tension. The tension peaked in a verbal confrontation between Menlis and Shaul Meridor, number 7 on the list, who claimed he was being pushed out of decision-making. The exchange escalated into a shouting match, and since then a rift has formed between them. In the party, some see the conflict as a symptom of a broader problem: a centralized campaign versus list members who feel they are not partners in the moves. From Yashar, it was stated that the number of times Meridor and Menlis spoke to each other in the last day is dozens of times greater than the number of times Yonatan Urich and Zvika Brot spoke with Likud list members.
