National Unity chairman Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Yisrael Beytenu chairman Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman publicly and privately criticized each other and Yesh Atid chairman Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Tuesday in an attempt to attract voters as the November 1 election nears.
The criticisms began after Gantz told haredi news website Kikar HaShabbat he was not the first politician from the current coalition who was willing to form a government with the haredi parties. “We are the only party to create a political, unifying bridge in the State of Israel,” he said in an interview. “We are the political solution… Shas sat with Meretz in the past. Liberman sat with the haredim. I know Liberman; the man fasts three times a year; his room is full of books. I do not think he is not Jewish in his soul.”
