Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday called Gadi Eisenkot's proposed conscription framework a 'crazy mistake,' according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). Bennett warned that MKs Moshe Gafni and Aryeh Deri will once again outmaneuver the next politician, and the effort will end in nothing.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday dismissed Gadi Eisenkot's conscription plan as a 'crazy mistake,' according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). Bennett said that MKs Moshe Gafni and Aryeh Deri will once again outmaneuver the next politician and the effort will yield nothing.
The attack targets the Yashar leader's proposal to resolve the Haredi conscription crisis, a central issue in Israeli politics. The Zioneer has previously reported on the broader debate: Bennett has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of running a 'pathetic spin' on the draft issue and vowed to nullify laws harming IDF soldiers. Eisenkot has argued that only a coalition led by his party can form a genuine conscription government.
Bennett's latest remarks reflect a view that the political dynamics remain unchanged, and that no current figure can break the legislative deadlock on conscription.
