Commentator Yaakov Bardugo said Monday that former IDF chief and war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot is far-left, based on many conversations, and dismissed former prime minister Naftali Bennett as a 'political con artist who remains a political con artist'.
Commentator Yaakov Bardugo, speaking on Channel 14, renewed his criticism of two prominent political figures on Monday morning. Bardugo stated that war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot is 'far-left,' claiming to know his positions from many conversations. He dismissed former prime minister Naftali Bennett outright, calling him a 'political con artist who remains a political con artist.'
Bardugo has previously leveled similar accusations. In July, he called Eisenkot 'publicly violent' and 'a liar,' and accused Bennett of being 'the biggest swindler in Israeli politics' and of funneling funds to Hamas. The remarks come amid ongoing political polarization in Israel.
