Milan, 15 Nov. (LaPresse) – Yashar’s chairman, Gadi Eisenkot, stated: “The conduct of Netanyahu and his inner circle poses a concrete, direct and immediate threat to Israeli democracy. This was reported by the Israeli media outlet Ynet. ‘Under no circumstances,’ Eisenkot said, according to the Ynet website, ‘should Netanyahu continue to hold the reins of power, not even for one more minute. Under no circumstances should Israel be dragged into another general election with him as prime minister. It is clear that, as long as he remains in office, there can be no fair elections. This is the fundamental consideration guiding me in the coalition negotiations I am currently conducting.” These remarks were made just a few hours before the start of talks to form a government of national unity, in light of reports that a former employee of the Prime Minister’s Office had passed on “compromising information” about Ra’am activists.
