Former minister and retired Brigadier General Efi Eitam lauded the strategic partnership between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, stating it has restored Israel's existential security stability. Speaking on a podcast with Smotrich, Eitam emphasized the importance of their collaboration in leading the multi-arena campaign since the outbreak of the war.
While acknowledging Netanyahu's responsibility for the October 7th events, Eitam urged a broader historical perspective, comparing the situation to crises faced by leaders like Churchill, Roosevelt, and Golda Meir. He argued that the true test of leadership lies in the ability to recover from such events.
Eitam credited the unique connection between Netanyahu and Smotrich for Israel's improved security posture during the war, calling it a "marvelous achievement." He highlighted that unlike previous conflicts, the current war explicitly aims to overthrow the enemy regime, a significant shift in Israeli security doctrine. Eitam asserted that the current regime is "wounded, vengeful, and genocidal," and its downfall is essential for Israel's security.
Looking ahead to elections, Eitam stressed the need for "strategic continuity," advocating for both Netanyahu and Smotrich to remain in the Israeli cabinet to ensure the war's objectives are met. He also referenced remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting that completing the shared mission would be difficult without Netanyahu as a strategic partner.
