Channel 12 journalist and TV presenter Sivan Cohen addressed the recent attacks directed at politician Gadi Eisenkot, questioning the discrepancy between the criticisms leveled against him and the perceived fear he generates within the political system. Cohen highlighted claims made about Eisenkot, including comparisons to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and pondered why political rivals would fear him if these criticisms were accurate.
Cohen cited specific criticisms such as "He will form a government with Abbas, his English is ridiculous, a weak man, lacking charisma, where is he and where is Bibi? A joke that he even got this far." She then questioned the basis of this fear, stating, "If all these things are true and given the fact that Eisenkot is even leading in some polls, what are they actually so afraid of?"
