Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Yashar party chair Gadi Eisenkot of dishonesty and labeled him left-wing, Israeli media reported, as the election campaign intensifies.
Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday evening directly attacked Gadi Eisenkot, chair of the Yashar party, saying: 'Eisenkot, this is not honest. This is left-wing.' The remark, reported by Israeli media, continues a sharp exchange between the two figures as the election campaign heats up.
As The Zioneer reported on June 27, Eisenkot earlier fired back at Netanyahu over what he called a 'campaign from your past life,' accusing the prime minister of cynically using the term 'unity.' The Likud party has also circulated a message to ministers stating it will not sit under a 'center-left' figure like Eisenkot. The latest attack signals that the campaign is entering a more personal phase, with Netanyahu directly challenging Eisenkot's integrity and political orientation.
