Former IDF chief Eisenkot: government deal to stay in power is 'irresponsible, harmful to IDF'

Former IDF Chief of Staff and war cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot called a reported coalition deal — extra weeks in power in exchange for a Torah Study Basic Law — a "distilled summary of the most detached and irresponsible government." Speaking with N12, he said the government is harming the IDF and the state's strength instead of preparing for an all-out war.
