Political statement by Matan Kahana
During an interview he gave to Aryeh Golan's program on Kan Reshet Bet, Knesset member Matan Kahana from the 'Yashar' party addressed the security stance of Gadi Eizenkot. According to Michael Shemesh and Political Arena, Kahana called Eizenkot a "security hawk" and claimed that he is "much more right-wing than the one who handed over Hebron to Arafat and called him a true friend." Kahana's words, who is identified with right-wing positions, reflect an attempt to redefine the boundaries of the national and coalition camp.
In addition, Kahana was asked about the possibility of including Arab parties in a future coalition. Kahana clarified that he does not rule out sitting together with Arab parties "that adhere to the principles of the 'Yashar' party," but qualified his words and noted that in the current political map, "there is none at the moment" (according to Michael Shemesh).
The sources of information, which include Michael Shemesh (who tends to present positions critical of the opposition and sympathetic to the government) and Political Arena, provide a glimpse into the internal disputes and public discourse surrounding political partnerships and the definition of "right-wing" in Israel in 2026.
