Matan Kahana Defends Religious-Zionist Candidates Backing Eisenkot

Matan Kahana defended the religious-Zionist candidates backing Gadi Eisenkot in a Saturday-night post. He said the religious-Zionist members of the slate had chosen to follow Eisenkot specifically out of a commitment to change and replacing the government. Kahana said he was proud to have grown up in Bnei Akiva and to identify with religious Zionism. He also rejected the suggestion that he himself was a “risk,” presenting his religious-Zionist background as part of the identity he proudly acknowledged.
