The price Gadi Eisenkot may pay to replace Netanyahu
Rami Piro warns in an opinion column that Gadi Eisenkot may pay a heavy price if he forms a government relying on the support of left-wing and Arab parties, which constitute nearly 40% of the political support he received. The author claims that such a government will struggle to make security decisions and will project hesitation to Israel's enemies.
Rami Piro, a jurist and mediator, warns in an opinion column on Channel 14 that Gadi Eisenkot may pay a heavy price if he forms a government relying on the support of left-wing and Arab parties. The article notes that 27 out of 67 Knesset members who recommended Eisenkot come from the Democrats (8 seats), Ra'am (8), and the Joint List (11) – nearly 40% of the political support he received. The author raises scenarios in which Yair Golan serves as Defense Minister and Yoav Segalovitz as Minister of National Security, and claims that such a government will struggle to make security decisions and will project hesitation to Israel's enemies. He compares Netanyahu's political experience to Eisenkot's lack of experience, and states that "the price of a change government will be a government incapable of governing." The column concludes with a warning that the public may discover that the great change is the loss of the state.
