Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu's rival warns that Israel cannot survive another four years like this

Gadi Eisenkot, former chief of the Israeli Defense Forces, warns that Israel cannot endure another four years under current conditions. As he campaigns for the prime minister position against Benjamin Netanyahu, he pledges to prevent the country's isolation, establish an inquiry into the October 7 Hamas attack, and remove Hamas from power within 18 months. Eisenkot, a leading figure in the Yashar party, served as the 21st chief of staff from 2015 to 2019 and as a minister in the unity government from 2023 to 2024. The elections for the Knesset are imminent, with various political figures, including Netanyahu and former leaders like Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, also in the race.
