Eisenkot Demands Criminal Probe Against Netanyahu Over Document

Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the HaYashar Im Eisenkot party, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, accusing him of distorting facts in a 55-page document submitted by the premier. Eisenkot called on the Attorney General to immediately launch a comprehensive criminal investigation into Netanyahu.

Eisenkot stated that anyone who lies, postpones decisions, and evades responsibility is unfit to lead Israel, especially after the heavy price paid. He accused Netanyahu of a persistent attempt to evade responsibility for the October 7th massacre and to alter the historical narrative of the events. "Three years since the October 7th massacre, three years of a pathetic attempt to flee responsibility, to make people forget the disaster, to evade the truth, the warnings that were placed, the alerts that were sounded, the bells that rang," Eisenkot said.

He vowed not to allow Netanyahu to rewrite history, even if he submits a thousand false affidavits. Eisenkot further condemned the "culture of lies" employed by Netanyahu and his ministers, which he believes distorts the truth and further divides Israeli society. He described this as a blatant attempt to rewrite history at the expense of the fallen, the wounded, their families, and Israel's future.

Eisenkot urged the Attorney General to intervene, stating that anyone who falsified documents and tampered with testimonies must be held accountable. He pledged that if he forms the next government, its first decision will be to establish a state commission of inquiry. Eisenkot concluded that investigating the truth is not a privilege but a prerequisite for restoring trust and preventing future disasters.
