Hebrew · Sole source

News 12 journalist Sivan Cohen criticized the "Change Bloc" campaign led by Gadi Eisenkot, calling it ineffective and unlikely to win. She specifically targeted the campaign's focus on social media and influencer events. This criticism aligns with other activists' concerns about the bloc's lack of unity and voter motivation. Recent polls show the bloc struggling to gain enough seats to form a government.

  • News 12 journalist Sivan Cohen criticized Gadi Eisenkot's campaign strategy.
  • Cohen stated the campaign's focus on social media is ineffective.

  • Left-wing activists also report a lack of unity and voter motivation.
  • Recent polls show the Change Bloc with 50-52 Knesset seats.

News 12 journalist Sivan Cohen criticized the campaign strategy of Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Change Bloc," stating it is ineffective and unlikely to lead to victory. Cohen specifically pointed to the campaign's focus on social media and influencer events, arguing it has transformed Eisenkot, who she described as a "Moroccan, Eilat native who reached the top," into a "Twitter model." She urged the campaign team to "change the disk" and stated, "This is not how you win."

Cohen's remarks come amid broader criticism of the opposition bloc. In the past week, numerous left-wing activists have argued that the bloc lacks unity, is failing to motivate voters, and is experiencing a sense of defeat even before the elections. Recent polls also reflect a challenging outlook for the Change Bloc, showing it hovering around 50-52 Knesset seats, far from the numbers needed to form a government.
