Matan Kahana

A fierce political competition for the religious-Zionist public unfolded as Itamar Ben Gvir warned against exclusion from the next government, while Gadi Eisenkot and Matan Kahana pitched the 'servicemen's alliance' in Givat Shmuel.

The Religious Zionism party strongly criticized Gadi Eisenkot and Matan Kahana over a new religious-national headquarters, accusing them of calling to surrender to Hamas.

Yashar! candidate Matan Kahana defended Gadi Eisenkot's strategy of running independently rather than merging with Naftali Bennett, claiming a four-headed opposition bloc maximizes the chance to replace Benjamin Netanyahu. Kahana also pitched the party as the true home for National Religious voters.

Matan Kahana sharply criticizes the government's conduct in the north, claims that Israel has lost its freedom of action in Lebanon, calls for striking Hezbollah with force, and also addresses Qatar, Gadi Eisenkot, and the political system.

Former minister Matan Kahana of the 'Yashar!' party has spoken out against the potential dismissal of senior officials, including Shin Bet head David Zini, in a future government. He emphasized that legal appointments must be respected.
