Benny Gantz, leader of the National Unity party, has entered a political dispute, defending Gadi Eisenkot and accusing Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, of leading the country into a political impasse. The conflict within the Israeli opposition continues following sharp criticism from Lieberman directed at Eisenkot, whom he called "the second Benny Gantz."
In response, Gantz stated on Friday that Lieberman had accomplished less than 10% of what he and Eisenkot had achieved for Israel in their 30 years in politics. Gantz claimed that Lieberman began attacking political opponents after Gantz revealed Lieberman's plan to form a minority government with Naftali Bennett and Arab parties. "Since I revealed his plan to create a minority government with Bennett and Arab parties, he has been under pressure and is shooting in all directions," Gantz said.
Gantz further accused Lieberman of using his attacks to obscure the lack of a viable solution to the current political situation. "Lieberman, your attacks will not hide the dead end you are leading Israel to," Gantz declared. He proposed that the way forward is the formation of a broad national unity government that unites political forces from various camps.
Gantz asserted that his National Unity party is best positioned to facilitate the creation of such a government. "There is only one solution: a Zionist unity government, uniting different political blocs. And only National Unity can lead to its creation. Vote for unity. Save the country," he concluded. Earlier reports indicated Lieberman had launched unprecedented criticism against Eisenkot.
