Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party and former Deputy Chief of Staff, launched a sharp public attack on Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff and chairman of the Yishay party, just one day before elections. Golan criticized Eisenkot's "Big Party" campaign, which urges center-left voters to consolidate their votes under Yishay to secure a mandate to form the government. Golan argued in a post on X that Eisenkot's strategy is a "dangerous lie" designed to weaken the "Democrats" and the broader protest movement that has been active for four years. He asserted that a bloc without strong Democrats would be weak and prone to collapse. Golan emphasized his party's stance, stating, "Strong Democrats are preferable to another mandate for the Big Party." He warned against repeating past mistakes, citing the previous election where, he claimed, Lapid's "Big Party" campaign led to defeat. Golan stressed the need for a majority within the bloc to form a government and achieve "real change." He appealed to voters not to be swayed by the "Big Party" slogan, calling it a lie, but reiterated the truth that strong Democrats are necessary for the next government. Concluding his remarks, Golan invoked their shared military past, urging Eisenkot to collaborate rather than engage in political infighting, stating, "We knew how to protect Israel in uniform, let's do it now too."
