Attorney Ephraim Damari, a commentator on Channel 14, launched a sharp attack against former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot during the program "Israel This Morning." Damari advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against giving a platform to his political rivals, whom he characterized as significantly less capable. "Prime Minister Netanyahu shouldn't stoop to this level," Damari stated, "It's not a fair fight. He is a failed chief of staff, one of the most failed people in Israel." Damari argued that anyone who has debated Netanyahu has ultimately lost, and that giving opponents a platform only boosts their ratings. He compared the disparity in capability to a toddler learning to walk versus an international sprinter, emphasizing that Eisenkot, along with figures like Bennett and Lapid, are not in the same league as Netanyahu. This criticism comes after Eisenkot formally invited Netanyahu to a public debate ahead of the upcoming elections, framing it as a crucial moment for Israel's security and future. The invitation noted that the debate would take place on October 27th, three years after the "most severe failure in Israel's history," the October 7th events.
