Defense Minister Israel Katz sharply criticized Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity Party, on social media platform X, accusing him of being willing to withdraw the IDF from a security zone in Lebanon. Katz argued that Eisenkot's position could lead to Hezbollah returning to the Israeli border, posing severe threats to northern residents, similar to the situation before October 7th. "Gadi Eisenkot talks about security responsibility, but he is willing to retreat and withdraw the IDF from the security zone in Lebanon," Katz wrote. He contrasted Eisenkot's alleged approach of "folding and containment" with the policy he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are pursuing, which involves IDF presence in security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

The Defense Minister concluded by urging Eisenkot to clarify his stance to the public, especially the residents of northern Israel, on this critical issue.
