Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar! Party, pledged during his party's election rally that Hamas would no longer rule in Gaza within 18 months of his assuming the role of Prime Minister. He outlined the initial steps of his proposed government, including the establishment of a state commission of inquiry on its first day and a national cabinet to combat crime within a week.

Eisenkot appealed to Likud and coalition voters, urging them to support change and stating that the Likud party had strayed from its path. He emphasized the need for a change in leadership, asserting that he could be trusted and that Israel could not continue on its current course. He called for his party, Yashar!, to win by a significant margin over the Likud to ensure a change in government.

He criticized the current government's approach, describing it as characterized by evasion, failure, and lies, and warned of a dangerous misconception if Israel were to endure another four years of the same. Eisenkot framed the upcoming election as a critical juncture for the future of Zionism, service, and unity versus evasion, division, and a culture of falsehood.

Eisenkot concluded by stating his goal is not to have one side defeat the other but to reunite all Israelis. He stressed the importance of every vote and understanding the gravity of the moment, presenting the election as a choice between his leadership and a repeat of the past four years.
