Gantz to Golan: 'Your biggest fear is a broad Zionist government without room for your extremism'

National Unity leader Benny Gantz released a sharp statement Tuesday targeting Democratic Party chairman Yair Golan, accusing him of working to ignite a civil war. Gantz wrote that Golan's 'biggest fear' is a broad Zionist coalition that would exclude his 'extremist views and hatred.'

Gantz's latest attack on Golan, published Tuesday morning, expands on the accusation first reported by The Zioneer at 11:36. The full text adds a new dimension: Gantz argues that Golan's political strategy is driven by fear of a broad Zionist unity government that would marginalize him. The statement is the latest in a series of exchanges between the two former senior military commanders, who now lead rival centrist parties. On Monday, Gantz accused Golan of 'spreading hatred and division,' as The Zioneer reported. The exchange reflects deepening political polarization as the government faces a constitutional crisis over its defiance of the High Court.
