Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar! party, is responding to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that 'there are signs that ahead of the elections, our enemies will try to attack us.' Eisenkot said that 'if Netanyahu's statements regarding security threats are correct, this requires an immediate briefing of Opposition Leader Yair Lapid. This is to ensure that we are indeed dealing with a real threat and not a political maneuver designed to harm the election system. It is absolutely forbidden to mix Israel's security with the election system. Not even in appearance.'
