Gadi Eizenkot, chairman of the Yashar! party, is set to hold a political rally tomorrow in Kiryat Malakhi, a traditional Likud stronghold, coinciding with the Likud party primaries. The event is expected to draw hundreds of attendees as part of Eizenkot's broader strategy to expand his party's influence in Israel's periphery.

In recent months, Eizenkot has focused on engaging audiences beyond the political center, targeting security-oriented and nationalist voters, as well as right-wing and Likud supporters open to alternative options. His campaign has included successful rallies in peripheral cities such as Kiryat Shmona, Dimona, Carmiel, and Jerusalem, all reportedly well-attended.

Alongside these events, Yashar! launched a new outdoor advertising campaign in peripheral cities featuring large billboards with Eizenkot's image and the slogan "Warrior! Leader! Uniter!" This campaign complements the party's efforts to build grassroots support ahead of the upcoming elections.

Eizenkot's team emphasized his ongoing commitment to the periphery, noting that "hundreds of people are expected to attend" the Kiryat Malakhi rally. The event will serve as a key test of how effectively Eizenkot's message resonates with voters traditionally loyal to Likud and other right-wing parties.
