  • Eyal Berkovich warned Gadi Eisenkot against forming a government with Haredi parties.
  • Berkovich stated he would be "enraged" if Eisenkot formed such a coalition.
  • Eisenkot has previously declared opposition to Haredi coalition partners.
  • Eisenkot's opposition is based on principles of IDF service among constituents.

Radio host Eyal Berkovich expressed strong disapproval on Tuesday regarding the potential for Gadi Eisenkot to form a government that includes Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties. Speaking on 103fm radio, Berkovich stated that if Eisenkot were to establish such a coalition, he would become enraged to an unprecedented degree, calling it a "very sad day" if it were to occur.

Berkovich's comments come amidst ongoing political discussions. It is noted that Eisenkot himself has consistently emphasized his opposition to forming a government with Haredi parties, citing his principles that a government should only be established with parties whose constituents serve in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).
