[93262] Political storm: Gantz claims Eisenkot is willing to cooperate with Arab parties

Internal tension in the National Unity party: Gantz draws boundaries

During his appearance on the program "Meet the Press," Benny Gantz provided a statement that caused ripples in the political system regarding the intentions of his faction colleague, Gadi Eisenkot. According to a report by Amit Segal – a journalist whose views are identified with a line supporting Netanyahu and the Right – Gantz claimed that "Eisenkot wants to defeat the other camp, he will even go with the Arabs."

The remarks, which were also echoed on the Telegram channel Israel News | No Censorship - Voice of News🇮🇱, point to potential disagreements or a different political strategy within the party. Gantz's statement places Eisenkot in a sensitive position publicly, as cooperation with Arab parties is perceived by broad sections of the Israeli public as a controversial move.

The quote brought on behalf of Amit Segal emphasizes the narrative that the desire for a political victory over "the other camp" may lead Eisenkot to moves that are not accepted by Gantz himself. As of now, no official response has been issued by Eisenkot to these statements.
