MK Ariel Kallner (Likud) said on Channel 14 that the left-wing media shapes public consciousness, leading voters to perceive Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, as a right-winger despite his actual political stance, according to a Channel 14 broadcast.
MK Ariel Kallner (Likud) leveled the criticism during a broadcast on Channel 14, accusing the media of engineering a false perception of Eisenkot as a right-wing figure. The comment adds to sustained right-wing skepticism of Eisenkot, who has faced allegations of hiding his centrist-left views. As The Zioneer has reported, commentator Yaakov Bardugo previously claimed that Eisenkot 'seeks to defeat Israel, not win for it,' and a Telegram commentator argued that right-wing voters cannot support him. The conscription debate, a central issue in Eisenkot's platform, remains a key fault line in Israeli politics.
