A report describes an intensifying struggle between former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot over the leadership of the "Change Camp" faction in Israeli politics.
A leading Israeli news outlet reports that the internal contest between Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eizenkot for control of the opposition-aligned Change Camp is entering a more confrontational phase. The report highlights widening strategic and personal differences between the two former top officials as they vie for the same political base. Neither candidate has made a formal public announcement about the leadership bid as of this writing, and the Camp's governing body has not scheduled a vote. The rivalry has been an open secret in Israeli political circles since the formation of the National Unity party ahead of the 2022 election, but this is the first detailed account of an active escalation.
