With four days remaining until the election, Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael! party, anticipates a high probability of being tasked with forming the next government. He is preparing to present his "First 100 Days" plan, which was developed by a team established four months ago. The team was led by Yoav Horowitz, former Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office, and included Professor Manuel Trachtenberg, Yoram Cohen, Shaul Meridor, former Knesset Legal Advisor Ail Yinon, Tair Ifargan, former National Insurance Institute Legal Advisor Gil Avriel, and Inbar Harush-Giti.
The draft plan, obtained by Ynet and Yediot Ahronot, outlines Yisrael!'s proposed immediate actions. Key initiatives include establishing a state inquiry commission and advancing legislation to limit the tenure of a prime minister. Horowitz criticized the current Prime Minister's Office as "rotten," attributing it to the corrupting influence of power on Benjamin Netanyahu and prolonged tenure.
Further proposals involve mandating military or national service for all, offering benefits to those who serve, imposing sanctions on draft dodgers through legislation, and eliminating budgets for independent educational institutions that do not teach core subjects. Eisenkot's party aims to integrate these institutions into the state education system, withholding funding from those that do not comply.
The plan also addresses the cost of living, focusing on housing, education, and food prices. It includes increasing housing supply and subsidizing daycare for working parents. Additionally, the plan calls for the rehabilitation of the northern and southern regions of Israel. In internal security, a project led by former Shin Bet head Yoram Cohen is proposed. Eisenkot criticized National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's actions, stating that despite distributing weapons and surrounding prisons, crime has not decreased, and vowed to restore professionalism to the police force.
Eisenkot also intends to immediately repeal laws and proposals enacted as part of the judicial overhaul, such as those concerning the Judicial Appointments Committee, placing the Police Internal Investigations Department under political control, the Attorney General law, and the communications law. The plan also includes immediate Knesset legislation on the rules for a prime minister's recusal. Finally, Yisrael! plans to drastically reduce the number of government ministries from 31 to 24, aiming for a more efficient structure, though acknowledging that 18 would be ideal.
