Culture Minister Miki Zohar (Likud) attacked in an interview with 103FM the chairman of Yashar, Gadi Eisenkot, over his political conduct. Zohar said that Eisenkot is making a serious mistake by negotiating with Arab parties or trying to form a minority government with Haredim, while according to him 80% of Israeli citizens support a broad unity government. Zohar clarified that Likud and Netanyahu are ready for talks to form a broad government without disqualifications. However, he condemned attacks on Eisenkot over his personal bereavement, defining them as crossing a moral red line. Zohar also criticized Eisenkot's quick response to Trump's decision, saying that sometimes it makes him a bit embarrassing.
