Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions on the eve of elections, particularly a simulated nuclear bomb graphic shown over Tel Aviv. Eisenkot stated on 103FM radio that he was "ashamed as an Israeli citizen" by Netanyahu's appeal to former US President Donald Trump and Trump's appearance in election broadcasts, calling it a sign of "complete loss of control."
Eisenkot expressed a loss of faith in Netanyahu's leadership, stating he now trusts the security establishment. He questioned the prime minister's use of the nuclear bomb simulation, asserting that "to the best of my knowledge, there is no information or threat that requires this, apart from Netanyahu's desire to steer public discourse." Eisenkot emphasized that the Iranian nuclear threat is ongoing and has not changed recently, and that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities remains a decades-long challenge.
He accused Netanyahu of lying about having destroyed nuclear bombs, calling it a "complete lie" and stating that the threat is serious enough not to require fabricated imagery. Eisenkot believes Netanyahu is acting hysterically, evident in his public appearances and actions, and declared his unequivocal trust in the IDF, not the Prime Minister.
