Chairman Moshe Kahlon of the Kulanu Party wrote on Twitter, Monday evening, "I have a lot of respect for generals. But one must salute (Lehatzdia' in Hebrew) generals, not vote (Lehatzbia') [for them]."

Regarding the number of generals running for office, Kahlon concluded, "We salute (Matzdi'im) generals. We vote (Matzdi'im) for Kulanu."
