- The plan is for post-war security control in the Gaza Strip.

A proposal by former Israeli military chief and minister Gadi Eisenkot for the "day after" in Gaza has sparked significant backlash, particularly from right-wing figures. In a podcast interview with Nadav Peri, Eisenkot outlined his vision, suggesting that security control in the Strip would be managed by an international force with Israeli oversight. His proposed solution for manpower involved training approximately 19,000 to 20,000 Gazans who are not affiliated with Hamas, to be stationed in Egypt.
This specific idea of training thousands of Palestinians from Gaza as an alternative force drew widespread ridicule and sharp criticism. Media personality and radio host Yotam Zimri was among those who responded sarcastically. In a post on his X account, Zimri mocked Eisenkot's proposal, stating, "Eisenkot needs security just to prevent him from attending interviews. This is his solution for Gaza, to train twenty thousand Gazans not connected to Hamas in Egypt."
Zimri's criticism implies that Eisenkot's public appearances and ideas are detrimental. This is not the first time Zimri has commented on Eisenkot recently. Previously, Zimri reacted to Eisenkot's call for a direct televised debate with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, writing, "Finally, an Israeli chief of staff wants a confrontation."
