Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yashar' party, declared Thursday from the Gaza border that Hamas will no longer rule the Gaza Strip within 18 months of his entry into the Prime Minister's office. He pledged to destroy Hamas's military wing, either through a plan based on former President Donald Trump's framework, adopted by the Netanyahu government, or by employing military capabilities.

Eisenkot asserted that as long as Benjamin Netanyahu remains in power, Hamas will continue to rule. He criticized Netanyahu, stating that the person who displays 'We Will Not Surrender' signs is the first to surrender to draft dodgers, coalition partners, and Hamas. Eisenkot argued that the current government has received unprecedented public and international legitimacy but has suffered a resounding strategic failure, with Hamas still sovereign, armed, and rebuilding its military capabilities three years after the October 7th massacre.

Eisenkot further highlighted a significant gap between the achievements of soldiers on the ground and Netanyahu's failure to meet his own stated objectives in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza. He emphasized that failures are not inevitable and that the next disaster can be prevented through brave decisions, a national strategy, and a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events to implement lessons learned. Eisenkot expressed confidence in his knowledge and experience to lead the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet professionally.
