A short Instagram video posted by Yonatan Enat, featuring a man who bears a striking resemblance to Gadi Eisenkot, has gone viral just before the elections. In the clip, the Eisenkot lookalike is heard saying, "I'm coming to vote for you, I'm returning to the country to vote for you." The video reached Eisenkot himself, the chairman of the Yisrael! party, who decided to play along. "Following yesterday's fake attack, that's not me either," Eisenkot wrote from his verified Instagram account, in a comment that garnered approximately 1,800 likes. Eisenkot's response comes amid reports of fake messages allegedly distributed in his party's name ahead of the elections. The party claimed these messages were an attempt to mislead the public and announced they would act against their distribution. While Eisenkot did not clarify if this was what he meant by "fake attack," in the case of his doppelganger, he chose to address the confusion with a bit of humor.
