Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar!" party and former IDF Chief of Staff, declared his intention to dismantle Hamas rule in Gaza within 18 months. This announcement, made near the Gaza border, drew sharp criticism from the Likud party and Ofer Winter's "Am Israel" party.
The Likud party sarcastically questioned Eisenkot's ability to achieve his goal, asking, "Will you get approval from your partners Mansour and Tibi?" The Likud suggested that any future coalition led by Eisenkot would be constrained by political considerations from various partners, hindering decisive security policy.
In contrast, the "Am Israel" party issued a particularly harsh response, accusing Eisenkot of being responsible for the "conception" that led to the October 7th attacks. They criticized his past military leadership, stating that the General Staff under his tenure, which included Yair Golan, Aharon Haliva, and Herzi Halevi, promoted disastrous strategies. The party asserted that no decisive outcome could be achieved under a government led by Eisenkot and Golan.
The "Am Israel" party framed the upcoming elections as a choice between Eisenkot, Golan, and Abbas leading security policy, or Ofer Winter as Defense Minister and Yosef Haddad as Information Minister, who would advocate for the voluntary emigration of Gazans instead of their entry for work.
The "Yashar!" party responded to the Likud by stating that Netanyahu and the Likud have misled Israelis for 17 years and strengthened Hamas. They suggested that if the Likud had focused more on their mission and less on messaging, October 7th might have been avoided, adding that the Likud would be out of office in 12 days.
