Democratic Party Chairman Yair Golan spoke this morning at the annual conference of the Berl Katznelson Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his remarks, Golan called on Gadi Eisenkot to unite with him or Bennett, accusing Bennett's connection with Lapid of smuggling voters to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""If this union only moves mandates within our camp, and drives away undecided voices from the right who fear one political structure or another - then we have done nothing for the sake of changing the government and saving Israel.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing is already clear to the eye in light of this connection, and we must not bury our heads in the sand: Lapid's decision to join Bennett pushes the entire bloc of Netanyahu's opponents to the right. We know this dynamic from the past. Democratic forces around the world that have returned to positions of power after retreat have done so only when they presented a sharp and clear alternative, not when they tried to imitate their opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gadi Eisenkot, this hour is greater than all of us and demands a decision. At this time, faced with our existential challenges, it is no longer possible to stay in the middle. A split in the bloc does not bring new votes, it only disperses existing power and weakens the camp. Out of deep appreciation for you, I call on you to make a decision that will allow us to win: join the alliance of Bennett and Lapid or join us, the "Democrats," and strengthen the ideological and values-based house of the liberal camp. Victory in the elections and saving the country depend on our ability to stand strong together. Put ego aside."\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Democratic Party Chairman Yair Golan spoke this morning at the annual conference of the Berl Katznelson Foundation.
