Tension in the political system: Bennett against Eizenkot

The political relationship within the opposition is deteriorating following the new draft outline and the secret discussions taking place on the subject. At the center of the storm is Naftali Bennett, who launched a sharp attack against Gadi Eizenkot following his secret meeting with the Chairman of United Torah Judaism, MK Moshe Gafni.

According to a report by Amit Segal, who is identified with right-wing positions critical of the current political system, Bennett called Eizenkot "naive" and claimed that "what he hasn't learned, Gafni has already forgotten." The remarks were made in the context of Eizenkot's efforts to formulate a draft outline that would be agreed upon by the Haredi parties.

The report was also widely quoted on the Israel News | No Censorship - The Voice of News channel, which highlighted Bennett's criticism of Eizenkot. On the same channel, which presents a firm and critical ideological line towards key figures in the political system, further wonder was raised regarding the conduct of public officials, with one of the writers expressing amazement at the public support that Eizenkot receives, asking: "How do people applaud this man? It is beyond my understanding."

The series of messages reflects growing dissatisfaction among parts of the public and the political system with attempts to reach compromises on the issue of drafting the Haredim into the IDF, as the secret contacts are perceived by critics as a strategic political concession.
