War cabinet member MK Gadi Eisenkot (National Unity) charged that Prime Minister Netanyahu is conducting a 'liquidation sale of Israel's national interests' in a reported political deal with Haredi factions. Party leader Benny Gantz added that in the next government, 'no one will hold the country hostage.' Both statements were reported by Amit Segal (N12).
War cabinet member MK Gadi Eisenkot (National Unity) issued a sharp attack on Tuesday evening against Prime Minister Netanyahu over a reported coalition deal with Haredi parties, calling it a 'liquidation sale of Israel's national interests,' according to Amit Segal (N12). Party chairman Benny Gantz said in a separate statement: 'In the next government, no one will hold the country as a hostage.'
The criticism follows a series of opposition statements against the government's handling of security and coalition politics. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Eisenkot had already opposed the deal, and on Monday he accused Netanyahu of providing 'zero real answers.' Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has also argued the government is 'no longer capable of advancing Israel.'
The reported deal's specifics were not disclosed in the statement. No immediate response from the Prime Minister's Office or Likud has been reported.
