Dana Kashdi, who worked for politician Benny Gantz for nearly six years, has spoken out about the profound personal toll her employment took, and her deep disappointment with Gantz.

In a post titled "Working with Gantz," Kashdi described the immense personal sacrifices she made, including her privacy, dignity, and mental well-being, stating she paid these prices alone. She joined Gantz's team when his political standing was at its lowest, with his party struggling to pass the electoral threshold and members leaving. Kashdi emphasized her unwavering support during this difficult period, highlighting her belief in him.

She detailed the extreme commitment required, working "nights, Saturdays, holidays, when you're sleeping, when you're showering, when you're eating, when you're visiting grandma or at grandpa's memorial." Kashdi recounted continuing to work from a hospital bed shortly after abdominal surgery and beside her dying dog, sacrificing relationships, family, friends, and her own life, believing in her mission and Gantz.

Despite her dedication, Kashdi expressed a sense of betrayal, feeling that her support was not reciprocated when she needed it. While not detailing the specific crisis, she indicated that Gantz's perceived lack of reciprocal support continues to affect her years later. She concluded her post with a complex sentiment, stating she doesn't regret her time but finds it difficult to focus solely on the good, concluding, "That's what it's like to work with Gantz."

Kashdi's statements come after a public controversy where Yair Netanyahu alluded to a possible sexual relationship between Kashdi and Gantz.
