- Smotrich linked Eisenkot's potential government to Joint List chairman Yosef Jabareen's support for a Palestinian state.

Finance Minister and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich attacked National Unity party chairman Gadi Eisenkot on Tuesday, linking him to a "dangerous plan" for a Palestinian state. Smotrich's remarks followed comments by Joint List chairman Dr. Yosef Jabareen, who expressed support for establishing a Palestinian state.
In a post on X, Smotrich stated that Jabareen's comments, made just two days after announcing his intention to provide a "safety net" for a potential Eisenkot government, revealed the "dangerous plan" of the "left bloc" to establish a "terror state" in the heart of Israel. Smotrich predicted that Avigdor Lieberman would ask Jabareen to remain silent and Eisenkot would issue denials, but asserted that the outcome of a left-wing government under Eisenkot would be unavoidable.
Smotrich concluded his post with a political message to voters, urging them to "choose Religious Zionism" to avoid gambling and ensure certainty. He framed the developments as reflecting the political direction of the bloc aiming to replace the current government, connecting Jabareen's support for a Palestinian state with Lieberman's recent declaration of support for an Eisenkot-led government after the elections.
