[79311] Sharp criticism from Eisenkot: Small parties should not dictate the formation of the government

Political criticism of coalition structures

Member of Knesset Gadi Eisenkot voiced sharp political criticism today, apparently directed at former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. According to the report by Amit Segal, who is identified with right-wing positions that often criticize center-left governments, Eisenkot argues that barriers must be set to prevent small parties from dictating the national agenda.

Key points

In a message that also echoed on the channel Israel News | No Censorship - The Voice of News🇮🇱, Eisenkot was quoted as saying: "Everything must be done so that parties with a small number of mandates do not demand the premiership, or threaten to switch sides if they do not receive it."

The remarks, which constitute unsubtle criticism of the political conduct of small parties that gained significant influence in past terms, reflect the growing frustration in the political system with the difficulty of creating governmental stability when small parties hold decision-making power disproportionate to their electoral size.
