A campaign message by Naftali Bennett's team targets former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, according to a report by Yuval Segev (New 13). The message says Eisenkot 'brings vast experience, but the country has no time for experimentation' — a jab at his electoral track record, per the report.
A campaign message from Naftali Bennett's team takes aim at former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, according to a report by Yuval Segev (New 13) aired on Monday evening. The message's wording — 'brings vast experience, but the country has no time for experimentation' — echoes a critique Bennett has leveled in recent months against the political establishment, framing himself as a decisive leader who does not need on-the-job learning. Among Bennett's rivals on the center-right, Eisenkot entered the race as a high-profile contender with a security record but limited political experience. The report provides no details on the format or distribution channel of the campaign message. Bennett previously sparred with Eisenkot during the 2022 election campaign, when Eisenkot ran with the National Unity party led by Benny Gantz. The message follows a series of Bennett campaign shifts reported by Amit Segal (N12) on June 15, though those reports did not specify the target of the new messaging strategy.
