Eisenkot: Yariv Levin is ‘the enemy of Israeli democracy’

Justice Minister Yariv Levin is “the enemy of Israeli democracy,” declares Yashar party chair Gadi Eisenkot, after Levin called for ignoring the High Court of Justice’s ruling invalidating the state comptroller election.

“Yariv Levin, the man who led the regime overhaul even at the cost of dismantling Israeli society while Netanyahu hides behind him, one of the leading contributors to the State of Israel’s lowest point — is the enemy of Israeli democracy,” Eisenkot writes on X.

“Netanyahu and his government continue to dismantle the foundations of democracy on the eve of the most fateful elections in Israeli history,” writes the ex-IDF chief, who is currently the main challenger to Netanyahu in the upcoming election. “Netanyahu, the people of Israel will stand before you as an impregnable wall. We will not allow you to dismantle Israel.”
