Yashar party chair Gadi Eisenkot said on Tuesday that the arithmetic is simple: even with the non-Zionist parties, Netanyahu cannot form another draft-dodging government — only Yashar can establish a full Zionist conscription coalition. Eisenkot accused rivals of using the Knesset's final days for a legislative marathon against the IDF.
Eisenkot’s statement, reported by N12's Daphna Liel, frames the upcoming election as a clear binary: a government committed to universal military conscription versus an undefined Netanyahu-led coalition that Eisenkot says would perpetuate exemptions. He accused the current coalition of exploiting the legislative calendar to pass laws he described as detrimental to the IDF. The remark comes amid a broader campaign by Yashar, which positions itself as the only right-wing alternative to Likud that guarantees a security-first, conscription-based agenda. The Zioneer has previously covered Eisenkot's push for a broad consensus government and the Likud's refusal to sit under him.
