Gadi Eizenkot Calls for Broad Zionist Government and National Unity Ahead of Elections

Gadi Eizenkot, former IDF Chief of Staff, launched the election campaign for the "Yashar" party on Tuesday evening, presenting key messages ahead of the upcoming elections. In his speech, Eizenkot emphasized the need to form a broad Zionist government that unites Israeli society rather than deepening divisions. "The government we establish will not favor one side or elevate another," he stated, pledging to do everything possible to unify the nation and create a worthy, unifying Zionist government.

Addressing security issues, Eizenkot clarified his worldview that war is not an end in itself but a means to strengthen national security. "We do not see war as a goal but as a tool to enhance security," he said. He concluded by acknowledging the lasting pain caused by war but expressed optimism about the country's ability to rebuild. "The pain of war will never disappear, but we have the ability to rebuild," Eizenkot affirmed. These remarks were made during the official launch of the "Yashar" party's election campaign.
