  • Gadi Eisenkot pledged to implement core curriculum for all Israeli students within four years.
  • Institutions not teaching core curriculum would lose state funding under Eisenkot's plan.
  • Eisenkot promised a state inquiry and national crime cabinet within a week of forming a government.
  • He vowed to dismantle Hamas's control over Gaza within 18 months of taking office.
  • Eisenkot urged voters to ensure Yamina significantly outperforms Likud for a change in government.

Gadi Eisenkot, Chairman of the Yamina Party, pledged on Sunday at his party's election rally that if elected Prime Minister, all students in Israel would study core curriculum subjects and be integrated into the state education system within four years. Institutions failing to meet this requirement would lose state funding. Eisenkot stated, "Within four years, all students in Israel will study core curriculum and be part of the state stream. Those who do not will not be funded." This initiative aligns with his party's recently published plan to cut budgets for the Haredi education system.

Eisenkot also outlined a timeline for actions if he forms the next government. He promised a state commission of inquiry would be established on day one, followed by a national cabinet to combat crime within a week, and legislation for universal conscription would begin. Within a month, he committed to enacting a law prioritizing conflict line communities, and within a year, government ministries would operate under a principle of preferential rights and benefits for those serving and working.

In security matters, Eisenkot declared, "Within eighteen months of entering office, the terrorist organization Hamas will no longer control Gaza. There is no one more committed to dismantling Hamas than I am." He also appealed to Likud voters, urging them to vote for his party, arguing that the Likud had strayed from its path. Eisenkot asserted that his party must significantly outperform the Likud to achieve a change in government, stating, "Netanyahu wants a tie, only then can he claim he needs to remain in office. On Tuesday, Netanyahu must go home." He warned supporters against complacency, cautioning that change is not guaranteed and that Netanyahu would resort to any lie or extreme measure to stay in power.
