Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Derech Party, is intensifying his campaign to attract votes from the "Change Bloc" parties, asserting he is the sole candidate capable of defeating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eisenkot stated, "There is only one way to replace the government," and attempted to alleviate concerns about vote dilution within the bloc, claiming, "The four parties are far above the electoral threshold."
In a pre-election announcement, the former IDF Chief of Staff cited suitability polls for prime minister, asserting he leads Netanyahu. "On the eve of the elections, and for the first time in 20 years, there is a leader who defeats Netanyahu in suitability for prime minister. The citizens of Israel want change, the citizens of Israel want Gadi Eisenkot as prime minister of Israel," he declared.
Seeking to establish his party as the central force within the bloc, Eisenkot urged direct votes for him, stating, "There is only one way to replace Netanyahu: whoever wants change and a new prime minister, puts 'Derech' in the ballot box! This time, Netanyahu can be replaced and a good government for Israel can be formed. This time, Eisenkot."
Simultaneously addressing the bloc's fears of vote loss if a party fails to cross the electoral threshold, Eisenkot claimed the four bloc parties are coordinated and well above it. "The change and hope bloc is more organized and orderly than ever: four coordinated parties, far above the electoral threshold," he said.
