Dozens of right-wing activists demonstrated outside the home of National Unity Party Chairman Gadi Eisenkot in Herzliya on Sunday evening, protesting the potential formation of a government supported by Arab parties. During the protest, one demonstrator was filmed shouting accusations at Eisenkot, calling him a "traitor" and blaming him for the death of his son, Sergeant Major (Res.) Gal Meir Eisenkot, who fell in battle in the Gaza Strip.
The protesters carried signs against political cooperation with Arab parties, with slogans such as "No to a left-wing government with terrorists" and "Traitorous leftists are a danger to Jews." The demonstrator who confronted Eisenkot's wife also yelled, "Your husband is a traitor, he sold your son, he murdered your son, he murdered us and your son and his nephew, traitor."
The protest comes amid post-election political negotiations for the 26th Knesset, and the possibility of Eisenkot forming a government that would rely on the support of Arab parties. Gal Meir Eisenkot, Gadi Eisenkot's son, was killed in combat in Gaza in December 2023. A day later, Eisenkot's nephew, Sergeant Maor Cohen Eisenkot, also fell in battle.
