Legislative Elections in Israel: Gadi Eisenkot, the main opponent of Benjamin Netanyahu, advocates for unity and calm

Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the opposition party Yashar!, addressed students at Tel Aviv University, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming elections. He questioned whether citizens prefer the leadership of Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu, who failed on October 7, or a different, more honest government. Eisenkot founded Yashar! in September 2025, initially receiving a lukewarm response. Although he was elected as a deputy in 2022, his impact in the Knesset has been limited, focusing mainly on military issues.
