TV Host Eyal Berkovic Endorses Gadi Eisenkot for Prime Minister on Live Air
Television host Eyal Berkovic publicly endorsed Yashar! party leader Gadi Eisenkot during a live broadcast, presenting him with a mock ballot and declaring him best suited to lead Israel.
During a broadcast on Reshet 13, television host Eyal Berkovic openly endorsed Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar! party, presenting him with a mock ballot paper and declaring him the most suitable candidate to lead Israel.
During the show "Moriah ve-Berco", Berkovic handed Eisenkot a voting slip and stated that he considers him the most reliable and unifying politician in the country. His co-host Moriah Asraf interrupted by noting that Berkovic is not a traditional journalist, to which Eisenkot remarked that it makes the broadcast interesting.
Berkovic elaborated on his reasons, praising Eisenkot's extensive contributions to Israel and expressing his wish that he becomes the next prime minister. Eisenkot thanked the host, expressing his appreciation for the gesture.
This endorsement follows a series of political statements by Berkovic, who has in recent years emerged as a vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. Berkovic frequently accuses the prime minister of deepening societal polarization, while expressing support for opposition figures.
As the political landscape shifts ahead of upcoming elections, Berkovic's public gesture solidifies his open backing of Eisenkot as a primary alternative for national leadership.
