Yedioth Ahronoth columnist Nahum Barnea praised the leader of the Yashar party, Gadi Eisenkot, on Monday, calling him “the national sweetheart.”
The article says Barnea made the remark today, but gives no further details about the context of the praise, Eisenkot’s response, or any broader political implications. The main point is the unusually warm public endorsement of Eisenkot by one of Israel’s best-known journalists.
