The Religious Zionism party has launched a sharp attack against Gadi Eisenkot's National Unity party following the establishment of a new religious-nationalist faction within it. This new faction, aimed at attracting votes from the Religious Zionism party's base, is headed by former Knesset member Matan Kahana.
Religious Zionism views this move as an attempt to erode their support. They assess that the new faction seeks to appeal to undecided voters by combining security messages with a "state-liberal" agenda, positioning itself as an alternative to their party.
Reut Ben Haim, a candidate for the Religious Zionism party, led the criticism, directly targeting Kahana and Eisenkot. She accused them and their associates, including Liberman and Golan, of calling for an end to the war and surrender to Hamas for three years. Ben Haim questioned their right to criticize Religious Zionism for not finishing the job, rhetorically asking if they thought everyone had forgotten their past positions.
Ben Haim stated, "It's simply unbelievable. For three years, Matan Kahana, along with his friends Eisenkot, Liberman, and Golan, called on the State of Israel to stop the war." She further accused them of advocating for withdrawal and surrender to Hamas, before asking, "And now they allow themselves to criticize us for not finishing the job?!" She concluded by asking, "Do they think we've all forgotten?"
