Israel’s election is approaching, but candidates are offering slogans instead of policies – opinion

As Israel's election approaches, the author argues that candidates are offering slogans and political attacks instead of concrete policies. The article criticizes figures like Gadi Eisenkot for reducing complex issues to campaign rhetoric, and Benjamin Netanyahu for relying on warnings about "the Left." It questions Avigdor Lieberman's vision beyond being a potential kingmaker and Yair Golan's inflammatory rhetoric. The author praises Naftali Bennett for beginning to focus on economic policy and practical challenges. The piece emphasizes the need for candidates to present detailed plans for critical issues such as housing affordability, the Haredi draft crisis, education reform, and national security, urging a shift from "empty rhetoric and recycled slogans" to a genuine contest of ideas.
