Mati Tuchfeld, head of the political desk at C14, has warned of a dangerous political scenario that Prime Minister Netanyahu might pursue. Tuchfeld suggests that political pressures could lead Netanyahu to cooperate with Gadi Eisenkot, a former member of the War Cabinet.
Tuchfeld described Eisenkot's past actions within the War Cabinet as consistently pushing for a deal to end the war and opposing the occupation of Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor. According to Tuchfeld, Eisenkot advocated for concluding all operations even before the elimination of Sinwar, before entering Lebanon, and before striking Iran.
Eisenkot also allegedly pressured for an end to the conflict, briefed that Netanyahu was acting for political reasons, and joined a campaign accusing Netanyahu of abandoning hostages. Despite Eisenkot's resignation from the government with harsh criticism, Tuchfeld cautions that current political constraints might push Netanyahu towards a partnership with him.
This potential cooperation is deemed dangerous by Tuchfeld, who argues it would bring back into decision-making a figure who, in his view, worked against the war's objectives. The analysis comes amid ongoing political discussions about forming a stable government for Netanyahu, facing significant security and diplomatic challenges.
