Political commentator Yaakov Bardugo, who resigned last weekend from his position in Gali Tzahal, after he claimed at the station “shut up” by moving from the position of presenter on the program “The Evening Diary”, was interviewed today (Sunday) on Channel 13 and referred to the affair he is talking about. He attacked the Blue and White Party and its leader, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and revealed: “Bennett offered me third place in the party in the last election. The refusal was blatant, not towards him, but towards the idea.”
At the beginning of his speech, Bardugo marked who he claimed was behind his departure from the station where he broadcast: “First and foremost it is Gantz, a political coward, a man who has been trying for years to take over a public station and own it. Now he succeeded through his clerk Galit Altstein One day in her life in the IDF. I’m not a publicist, I’m a political commentator, “GLC today is a station of blue and white and of the government.”

He then attacked Interior Minister Shaked, claiming that “she can leave her crocodile tears aside. I know of cases where she has tried to narrow my steps, she is Gantz’s ally.”
In addition, he said that his partner in the program, Yaron Wilensky, had not spoken to him since it became known that they would not broadcast the evening diary together: “This is the thing that saddened me the most. He did not call or even send a message. Of the struggle. “
Bardugo added that he believes the mouth-clogging will not stop him, and will now move to other journalists who are identified with the right. “Only the Israeli public will change this matter. I think they are beginning to understand well,” he said.
He then referred to the possibility that he would enter the political world, now that he no longer broadcasts in the GLC: “Bennett offered me to be third place twice. Politics was not the field that interested me, it was not my field. In the last election, Bennett offered me a third place instead of Davidi, right in the office where I now sit. “
“I am not completely interested in politics. Bennett is not the issue but was not alone, even in previous rounds the center parties made proposals. Bennett offered me on Sunday and Wednesday. “They never say no, but it’s not in my drive. There’s a big event and I think I’ll continue to be here for hundreds of thousands, I think even more,” Bardugo concluded.
