Yossi Cohen, the former head of Mossad, is reportedly considering entering Israeli politics by forming an independent party ahead of the next elections. This potential move reflects shifting public opinion in Israel following recent conflicts. Cohen's prospective party aims to fill a political gap between the right and center factions. Meanwhile, Benny Gantz's centrist party is preparing for leadership elections and has opened public registration amid declining poll numbers and increasing support for Gabi Eisenkot. Gantz has also publicly denied claims that his party is willing to compromise with Haredi parties on the issue of military conscription. Political tensions are rising, with speculation about a possible leadership clash between former IDF chiefs within the centrist, anti-Netanyahu camp. Additionally, opposition leader Yair Lapid has accused the prime minister of collaborating with Haredi parties to allow ultra-Orthodox Israelis to avoid military draft obligations.
