Gadi Eisenkot Denies Iran Possessed Nuclear Bombs, Criticizes Netanyahu's Claims

Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael party and former IDF Chief of Staff, publicly challenged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. Speaking at the 22nd Herzliya Conference, Eisenkot disputed Netanyahu's claim that he had entered Iran twice to prevent the country from acquiring atomic bombs. Eisenkot stated that Iran never possessed nuclear bombs and accused Netanyahu of fabricating scenarios to alarm the Israeli public. This direct rebuttal highlights a significant disagreement between two prominent Israeli figures on the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program.
