[49207] Reports of contacts for a political union between Avigdor Liberman and Gadi Eisenkot
Political reports indicate preliminary contacts between Avigdor Liberman and Gadi Eisenkot with the aim of exploring a joint run in the upcoming elections.
Political contacts: Towards a connection between Liberman and Eisenkot?
The upcoming election campaign is shaping up to be an arena of changes, as according to a report by Yuval Karni in 'Yedioth Ahronoth', preliminary contacts are being held to examine the unification of lists between the chairman of the 'Yashar!' party, Gadi Eisenkot, and the chairman of 'Yisrael Beiteinu', Avigdor Liberman.
The report in question appeared on several Telegram news channels, including News from the Field, The News Arena and Politics Updates. In all reports, it was emphasized that these are early-stage talks, without official confirmation of an agreement or mutual commitment between the parties.
On the other hand, the Telegram channel Torat Lechima - For the IDF, which is identified with conservative right-wing positions and opposition to center-left governments, responded to the report with a critical tone. The channel chose to label the move as a political step based on a "common denominator: hatred and persecution of religious and ultra-Orthodox people."
As of this time, no official response has been issued on behalf of Eisenkot's or Liberman's parties regarding the very existence of the contacts or the strategic goal behind them.
