Gadi Eisenkot Blames Government for October Massacre, Vows Change in Upcoming Elections

Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, sharply criticized the current Israeli government during the launch of his party's election campaign. He accused the government of dishonesty and claimed it governs through division and chaos. Eisenkot stated that this approach led to a severe low point for Israel, referencing the October 7 massacre and the associated failures as a fresh, painful wound for the nation.
