Yair Golan against Eisenkot: "To lead change, you need a backbone"

Yair Golan attacked Gadi Eisenkot a day before the elections, accusing his "big party" campaign of a dangerous lie aimed at weakening the Democrats, and urged not to be tempted by it. The attack came against the backdrop of a tweet by Eisenkot's campaign manager, Ronen Menlis, who taunted Bennett and Lapid and then deleted it.

Chairman of the Democrats party, Yair Golan, harshly attacked Chairman of the Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot, a day before the polls opened. In a post on X, Golan accused Eisenkot's "big party" campaign of a dangerous lie intended to weaken the Democrats. Golan argued that a bloc without strong Democrats is a weak bloc that could crumble, and recalled that a similar campaign led by Yair Lapid in the previous elections ended in defeat. The attack came against the backdrop of a tweet by Eisenkot's campaign manager, Ronen Menlis, which he later deleted, containing a jab at Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. The article quotes Golan's words in full but does not include a response from Eisenkot.
