Yair Golan Storm: Statements on a Government with Ra'am and Closing the Eli Pre-Military Academy

The election campaign and political discourse in Israel are turbulent following a series of statements by Yair Golan, which are provoking sharp criticism from right-wing elements. According to YINONEWS - Yinon Magal, identified with right-wing, pro-Netanyahu positions, Golan declared that he intends to form a government with Mansour Abbas and the Ra'am party, claiming that they are "preferable to Religious Zionism and Smotrich." Golan added that such cooperation is expected to work "excellently," while noting that Gadi Eisenkot will also operate along this path.

At the same time, Israel News | Without Censorship - The Voice of News reports on another statement by Golan, according to which if he serves as Minister of Defense under a government led by Eisenkot, he will work toward closing the Eli pre-military academy. The remark sparked backlash from political figures on the right, including Bezalel Smotrich.

In its reports on Golan's remarks, the channel Israel News | Without Censorship chose to emphasize the critical tone toward the leader of the Democrats, defining the move as an "alliance of those who serve." The various reports reflect the high tension surrounding the question of political partnership with Arab parties and the attitude toward national-religious institutions in the security establishment.
