Channel 14 Airs Flawed Report on Gadi Eisenkot's Background

The story · English

Channel 14 is set to broadcast a report on Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity party. However, a promotional clip for the program contained a factual error regarding Eisenkot's birthplace and upbringing. The channel claimed Eisenkot was from Afula, but he was actually born in Tiberias and raised in Eilat.

Eisenkot himself responded to the error on his X account, stating, "You haven't even broadcast a minute of the 'investigation' yet, and here's the first lie." He added, "I love Afula, but I was born in Tiberias and grew up in Eilat."

Eisenkot was born in Tiberias to parents who immigrated from Morocco. His family moved to Eilat when he was one year old. He was educated in a boarding program at Kibbutz Tze'elim and later studied in Eilat. He then enlisted in the Golani Brigade, pursued a career as an officer, and rose through the ranks to become the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces.
