Gadi Eisenkot, a member of the War Cabinet, has challenged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a televised debate. Eisenkot announced the challenge during a campaign event for the National Unity party, stating that his chief of staff had sent a letter to Netanyahu's chief of staff proposing a debate on any channel and in any format desired by the Prime Minister.
This is not the first time Eisenkot has called for a public confrontation with Netanyahu. Several months ago, following a video released by the Likud party against him, Eisenkot urged Netanyahu to "leave the videos, set a date and place. Come to a public confrontation, let's answer the public's questions."
As of now, the Prime Minister has not yet responded to Eisenkot's latest proposal. The article also briefly mentions other unrelated news items, including an incident in Rahat and a statement by Netanyahu.
