Berkovich's endorsement follows a history of strong political statements. He has become a vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, despite having previously supported Netanyahu. Berkovich frequently accuses the Prime Minister of deepening societal divisions and supports figures associated with the "change bloc." He has previously warned that a victory for Netanyahu's bloc could lead Israel towards becoming a halachic state, citing political partnerships with Haredi parties. He has also criticized the possibility of forming a government with Haredi parties, even in scenarios Eisenkot might pursue.
Berkovich also addressed the possibility of the "change bloc" losing elections, stating that Netanyahu's opponents should respect the voters' decision and cease protests if that outcome occurs. As elections approach, Berkovich has made his personal stance a public gesture of support for Eisenkot.
