Gantz's Ex-Employee Claims Lack of Reciprocity After Years of Devotion

Dana Kashdi, who worked for Benny Gantz for nearly six years, has spoken out about the personal sacrifices she made during her tenure, expressing deep disappointment over what she describes as a lack of reciprocity from Gantz when she needed support.

In a post titled "Working with Gantz," Kashdi detailed the immense personal costs, including impacts on her reputation, dignity, privacy, and mental well-being, stating she paid these prices alone. She recalled joining Gantz's team when his political career was at a low point, with his party struggling to pass the electoral threshold and members leaving. Kashdi emphasized her unwavering support during this difficult period, even when Gantz himself acknowledged the difficulty of standing with him.

Kashdi described her work as all-consuming, requiring her to work nights, weekends, and holidays, and even from a hospital bed shortly after surgery or while her dog was dying. She explained that her life became so dedicated to Gantz that she neglected her own personal life, relationships, and friendships.

Despite her immense dedication, Kashdi criticized Gantz for what she perceived as a failure to reciprocate her support during a personal crisis. While she did not provide specific details of the incident or Gantz's reaction, she indicated that the hurt from this experience continues to affect her years later.

Concluding her post, Kashdi expressed a complex mix of emotions, stating she does not regret her time working for Gantz but finds it difficult to focus solely on the positive aspects, summarizing her experience as "that's what it's like to work with Gantz."
