Likud Slams Gadi Eisenkot's Party Over 'Leaked' Political Agenda

The Likud party sharply criticized statements made by Yoram Cohen, who is listed second on Gadi Eisenkot's electoral slate, asserting that Cohen's remarks reveal the political and diplomatic direction Eisenkot would pursue if he formed a government. In a statement, Likud claimed Cohen's comments further exposed the positions of Eisenkot's camp.

Likud alleged that behind Eisenkot's public messaging lies an intention to establish a left-leaning government that would fundamentally differ from the policies of right-wing governments. "Another awl has come out of the bag," Likud stated, adding that Cohen's remarks, from a senior figure in Eisenkot's list, indicate the direction a government led by Eisenkot would take.

The party intensified its rhetoric, claiming such a government could significantly harm settlements in Judea and Samaria and advance diplomatic moves including the establishment of a Palestinian state. Likud emphasized these are crucial issues for voters to consider during the election campaign.

This strong reaction adds to the escalating political rhetoric between Likud and Eisenkot's camp, as both sides aim to highlight their differences on policy, security, and settlement issues for the public.
