Bennett, Liberman risk splitting the anti-Netanyahu camp over who leads it - opinion
The leaders of the opposition remain divided over the most basic questions they will face the day after the election. Most importantly of these is: Who actually leads their camp?
Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot are engaging in a strategic battle over who should lead the opposition, with both men vying for the support of new voters. Bennett has been adding men to his list, while Eisenkot has been bringing in inexperienced former Knesset members. The opposition's main concern is determining who will lead the camp and form the next government.
Both Bennett and Liberman have refused to commit to recommending Eisenkot as leader, fearing that it will accelerate the migration of their voters to his camp. This situation allows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to focus on winning over undecided voters, who could potentially tip the balance in his favor.
