Tensions are escalating within the center-left political bloc as a heated exchange occurred between the campaign teams of Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yashar!' party, and Yair Golan, chairman of 'The Democrats'. The conflict erupted following Eisenkot's campaign asserting his party must be the largest, to which 'The Democrats' responded with a campaign suggesting Eisenkot's party lacks individuals capable of defecting after the election. Amidst these reciprocal attacks, Eisenkot's associates contacted a source close to Golan, accusing them of "shooting within the APC," a metaphor for infighting. This call was reportedly intended to reprimand Golan's team, as the campaigns violate a prior agreement among center-left bloc leaders to refrain from attacking each other. The source close to Golan reportedly defended their campaign as a response to Eisenkot's, further accusing Eisenkot's team of having members who might defect, stating, "We don't have Silmanim; no one will defect from us." This internal strife comes despite an opposition agreement to avoid mutual attacks until after the elections. Previously, MK Meirav Ben Ari, a senior figure in Naftali Bennett's 'Achva' party, had implicitly criticized Eisenkot's lack of experience during a voter event.
