Author and journalist Beni Tzipor has sharply criticized the entry of former military officers, including Brigadier General (res.) Ofer Winter, into the political arena. Speaking on the program "Yoman Ha'erev" on Radio Galey Israel, Tzipor likened Winter to "Bennett with a beard," dismissing the politicians' aspirations to defeat Iran, reform the justice system, or achieve other major goals as unrealistic.
Tzipor argued that these former military personnel, while perhaps effective in their army roles, lack the necessary talent for politics. He believes their entry does not pose a significant political threat to the Prime Minister, stating, "Fortunately for Bibi, these are people lacking political talent."
The journalist's comments come amid a trend of former officers joining politics. The article also briefly mentions Michael Ben-Ari revealing his election vote.
