Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, sharply criticized Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity party, in a strong post on social media platform X. Lieberman labeled Eisenkot as 'Benny Gantz 2,' asserting that Eisenkot's campaign for 'the big party' is not aimed at attracting votes from those who avoid military service to those who serve, but rather at drawing votes from within his own political bloc.
Lieberman concluded that Eisenkot's strategy indicates a desire to form a government with Benjamin Netanyahu, Yitzhak Goldknopf, and Aryeh Deri. He suggested that Eisenkot is keeping the option of a minority government on the table as leverage against Netanyahu, with the goal of becoming prime minister in a rotation. According to Lieberman, the only way to prevent this scenario is for the four parties within Eisenkot's bloc to secure a solid majority.
