Shaul Meridor Condemns Attacks on Gadi Eizenkot as Unrestrained and Baseless

Shaul Meridor, a senior member of the Yisrael party, strongly criticized recent videos produced by Likud targeting his party leader, Gadi Eizenkot, during an interview on the "Sari and Shlezinger" podcast on Thursday. Meridor responded specifically to attacks by Yinon Magal, who questioned Eizenkot's character by saying "the real test is your children." Meridor rejected these claims, stating that such attacks demonstrate the opposition's loss of restraint and descent into baseless personal attacks.

Meridor challenged Magal to compare the children of Eizenkot and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing the values they were raised with and their contributions to the state. He highlighted Eizenkot's sacrifices for Israel, calling it the highest price an Israeli can pay for the country, and questioned why anyone would dispute that.

The full interview is scheduled to be published on Walla news the following day. Meridor framed the conflict as part of a broader political struggle, asserting the need to defeat and replace the current government, which he accused of resorting to "the lowest of lows" in political discourse.
