Liberman Attacks Eisenkot: 'Gantz 2, Plotting a Coalition with Netanyahu'

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman launched a sharp attack against opposition partner Gadi Eisenkot, labeling him "Gantz 2." According to reports by ynet, Haaretz, and The Jerusalem Post, Liberman accused Eisenkot of striving to form a post-election government with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Aryeh Deri.

According to Liberman, Eisenkot is keeping the option of a minority government on the table solely as leverage against Netanyahu to secure the first turn in a rotation agreement for prime minister. Liberman added that the former IDF chief of staff's lack of political experience mirrors a familiar pattern among senior military officers entering politics, asserting that Eisenkot's campaign violates prior agreements.

Further details or an official response on behalf of Eisenkot have not yet been released.
