I may not speak as nicely as Netanyahu, but I will not solve your lies or hurt the army and the judicial system • I decided to join the company because I felt that we were parting with subgroups

On the eve of the end of the third election campaign in less than a year, I would like to remind the citizens of Israel why we are here, why I am here. What I am struggling for.

First, Israeli society. About the author between us. After four decades of service in the IDF for the homeland, I decided to enlist again because I felt that we were becoming separate to tribes and subgroups, and that seven did not have leadership in Israel.

I respect Netanyahu as a person, and also as a leader and prime minister. He did much for the country. We had many hours together when I served as chief of staff, and he even extended my term for another year. Unfortunately, something has happened to him ever since. He got into more and more suspicions that became serious charges. Instead of worrying about the state, he began to worry about himself. Netanyahu will have to spend all his time trying to deal with the court and countless preparatory talks with the lawyers. Israel needs a full-time prime minister.

The party leaders write:

Netanyahu: Give me strength to keep going

Bennett: The right-wing government is within reach

Deri: Keeping our values

Litzman: Yes to tradition and not incitement

Peretz: Right-wing seduction efforts - eye-catching

Ode: To the Jewish-Arab reality of welfare, equality and peace

In our 72 years of existence, we have achieved tremendous achievements. We have wonderful human capital. On the other hand, we have a lot more work to do. Our doctors are some of the best in the world, but the health system is on the verge of collapse, and now has to deal with an epidemic. She is expected to do so when the commissioner is facing charges. The teachers, the principals and our educators, in particular, are wonderful and valuable, but the system is stuck a generation behind. In the area of ​​religion and state, a large proportion of people cannot marry in their own way and belief, and young people cannot marry on Saturday without a vehicle.

Our military is also strong and high-quality in the Middle East, but even the role of defense minister is a means of cynical political play. Southern residents are absorbing fire and a steady solution is not in sight. I entered the political system because I believe in Israel, believe in its citizens. Know how far we can go when we leave the standstill.



I'm here because I care. I care about you, your parents, your children. And I have the best list on my side. I may not speak and interview as nicely as Netanyahu, but I am really satisfied: I will not dissolve you from lies, do not spread spins, do not harm the military, the legal system and the media, even if there are things that need to be rectified. I will not concede to an extreme government just to obtain a law of escape. I will always respect my political rivals and democratic rules of the game. Only if blue and white is the largest party will I be the prime minister of all Israeli citizens. We must move forward.
