Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity Party, launched a sharp critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, following remarks made by former Military Secretary Avi Gill in an interview. Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of spreading lies and evading responsibility for the October 7th failures, calling for an end to his public career.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Eisenkot stated, "Benjamin Netanyahu's culture of lies is dismantling Israel and endangering it." He elaborated that while the Israeli government sent brave soldiers into battle and families entrusted their safety to Netanyahu, the Prime Minister misled, deceived, and betrayed the trust of an entire nation, risking citizens' security. Eisenkot asserted that Netanyahu ignored repeated warnings from both domestic and international sources and security agencies' alerts and plans leading up to October 7th.
Eisenkot further claimed that on the morning of the attack, as residents of the Gaza envelope fought for their lives, Netanyahu and his associates were busy crafting an alternative reality to absolve him of responsibility for the greatest failures in Israel's history. He described the promotion of a "betrayal theory" as "systemic madness, a breach of trust, and indicative of extreme incompetence," adding that anyone associated with such conduct must immediately leave public life.
Eisenkot praised Avi Gill for his courage in speaking out and presenting his account of events, stating, "Major General (Res.) Avi Gill is a brave man who stood by the truth. It belongs to all of us." He emphasized that in the absence of a state commission of inquiry and amidst the dissemination of dangerous conspiracies from the Prime Minister's office, silence is not an option.
Concluding his remarks, Eisenkot urged the public not to believe the government's messages and pledged to work towards establishing a state commission of inquiry. He vowed that soon every Israeli mother would know that their children were placed in the hands of worthy leaders.
