Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar Party, has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign from politics, stating that the Israeli public voted for change in the recent Knesset elections. Eisenkot commented on the exit poll results, asserting that voters expressed a desire for new leadership. "We made history. This morning the people of Israel went to a referendum on who will lead the country in the coming years. This night we received an answer: society has chosen change," Eisenkot declared.
Eisenkot emphasized his commitment to forming a new government, specifically a "Zionist government that supports conscription." He directly addressed Netanyahu's political future, stating, "A worthy leader would admit that the people have expressed no confidence in him and would announce his departure from political life today." While acknowledging the need to await final vote counts, Eisenkot expressed confidence that the preliminary results indicate a shift in political sentiment.

A clear majority among those who serve, work, and form the backbone of Israeli society," he added. Eisenkot's statements followed the release of updated exit polls showing no clear parliamentary majority for the main political blocs.
