Israel’s center left courts another general
In a desperate effort to find a real alternative to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the center-left camp is now courting former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot.
The person most courted in Israeli politics today is former Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, and with good reason.
Despite the increasing likelihood that a fourth round of elections will take place in the first half of 2021, the center left remains a house divided. The entire camp coalesced around the current defense minister and chairman of the Blue and White party as recently as two years ago, but he has since fallen in stature. Blue and White has split into two parties, and even in his own there are those who contest his leadership.
