Major General (res.) Yossi Bachar, who served in the General Staff under former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, has expressed concern about the possibility of Eisenkot becoming the next prime minister. Bachar, who recently joined the Religious Zionism party, stated in an interview with the newspaper 'Besheva' that he fears a shift away from Israel's current offensive and preemptive security doctrine under Eisenkot's leadership.
Bachar noted that about six months prior, when Eisenkot began forming his own party, he had predicted a public desire for change. "The dynamic of the people is that they want something new and are fed up with what they received from the government," Bachar said.
He elaborated on his security concerns, stating, "I have a great fear that the next prime minister will be Gadi Eisenkot, because the State of Israel and the IDF under his leadership will move away from the offensive, proactive, and preemptive approach, and all these approaches will not be realized."
