  • Bennett's advisor Lior Chorev criticized Gadi Eisenkot's campaign tactics.
  • Chorev warned that attacking partners benefits rival Netanyahu.
  • Democrats Chairman Yair Golan also denounced Eisenkot's campaign strategy.
  • The criticism highlights internal tensions within the "change bloc" over election strategy.
  • The debate centers on consolidating support versus maintaining party strength.

Gadi Eisenkot's election campaign is facing criticism from within the "change bloc" of parties, with some fearing his efforts to bolster his own party may come at the expense of other partners. The dispute has intensified as the election nears.

Lior Chorev, an advisor to former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, joined the critics, attacking Eisenkot's campaign management. "Very bad to end a campaign by shooting at your partners. I have a feeling voters also shy away from this. What's good for Netanyahu is bad for Eisenkot," Chorev wrote on his X account.

This criticism follows similar remarks from Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats party, who previously called Eisenkot's campaign "a mistake" and "a dangerous lie." Golan warned of potential repercussions for his party and the bloc as a whole, advocating for cooperation among political partners instead of competition.

The critiques from Chorev and Golan highlight the ongoing tension within the change bloc regarding election strategy: whether to consolidate efforts around a single large party or to maintain the strength of individual partner parties.
