Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Liberman said at a party conference ahead of the elections that he "appreciates Gadi Eisenkot," but also criticized: "There is a significant gap between my approach and Gadi's approach. In the last month, I see an increased effort by Gadi and his people to ensure that the 'Yesher!' party will be the largest party - what interests me is bringing as many seats as possible to the bloc." According to him, "The most important thing is that the bloc has enough seats, that we win as a Zionist coalition of those who serve. I am not willing to accept any wink toward Netanyahu and the ultra-Orthodox parties. Cannibalism within the bloc will hurt the chances of a decisive victory."
