Journalist Shachar Glik reported a meeting near Jerusalem between former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot and former MK Elazar Stern, while Stern has not yet left the Bennett-led 'Together' party. Glik said Stern has publicly stated he believes in Eisenkot.
According to journalist Shachar Glik, former IDF chief and opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot met former MK Elazar Stern near Jerusalem. Glik noted that Stern, who serves as a Knesset member for the Bennett-led 'Together' party, has not left the party but has 'declared from every platform' that he believes in Eisenkot. The meeting comes as political realignment talks continue in the opposition camp. As The Zioneer has reported, senior figures in Yesh Atid have urged a merger under Eisenkot, and some Haredi figures have expressed willingness to work with him, while Eisenkot himself has reportedly been noncommittal about partnering with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Stern's participation in the meeting signals potential shifts within the 'Together' party, though Bennett has not yet commented on any alignment change.
