  • An Israeli man found a doppelganger of Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Gadi Eisenkot before the elections.
  • The man filmed the encounter and declared, "I'm voting for him."
  • The video was shared on Instagram and reached Gadi Eisenkot.
  • Eisenkot responded humorously, "Following yesterday's fake attack, this isn't me either!"

A humorous video circulating online shows an Israeli man encountering an individual who bears a striking resemblance to Gadi Eisenkot, the chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party. The man who found the doppelganger filmed their encounter and declared, "I'm voting for him," in a lighthearted gesture ahead of the Knesset elections.

The video, shared on Instagram by user Yonatan, features the Israeli smiling at the camera and pointing to the man beside him, whose appearance, from his graying hair to facial features, is remarkably similar to Eisenkot's. The resemblance was so uncanny that the article humorously questioned if even the former IDF Chief of Staff could tell the difference.

The footage even reached Gadi Eisenkot himself, who responded with a witty remark. "Following yesterday's fake attack, this isn't me either!" he posted, referencing the viral video and adding a touch of humor to the pre-election atmosphere.
