Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, accused the government on Tuesday morning of bearing responsibility for violence against media systems and conducting a 'systematic and unrestrained incitement campaign' against journalists and media organizations, according to N12. Eisenkot said the government's silence in the face of the consequences grants legitimacy to continued violence.
Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and war cabinet member, has been a vocal critic of the government's policies. As The Zioneer reported, he launched his campaign for prime minister in late June and has previously called for a tougher line against Hezbollah in the north. The statement adds to growing political tensions as the government faces scrutiny over its handling of the media and the war.
