Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, stated that the recent election results indicate a clear majority of Israeli citizens voted against the "October 7th government" and for change. He characterized the election as the most fateful in Israel's history and pledged to reunite the country and end the "culture of lies" he attributes to Prime Minister Netanyahu. Eisenkot intends to immediately work towards forming a broad national unity government based on four core principles: recognizing Israel as a Jewish, democratic, liberal, and egalitarian state; commitment to the Declaration of Independence; mandatory service for all citizens (military, national, or civil); and designating Hamas as a terror organization to be destroyed. He declared that any Member of Knesset (MK) willing to sign these principles is a potential partner in forming a new government. Eisenkot emphasized that the Knesset, not the government, grants confidence, and stressed the need to translate the public's will into action, citing the ongoing security, economic, and international challenges. He also committed to supporting military actions only in cases of immediate threats to Israel until a new government is sworn in, noting that the war's objectives have not yet been met. Eisenkot anticipates a challenging period ahead, filled with spin and deception, but vowed to act with courage and creativity to fulfill the voters' mandate.
