Right-Wing Activists Protest Outside Gadi Eisenkot's Home, Accuse Him of Murder — Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Right-wing activists demonstrated outside the home of Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman Gadi Eisenkot in Herzliya on Sunday, escalating to harsh accusations against him and his family. The protest, held against the backdrop of a potential government formation supported by Arab parties, showed one demonstrator using a megaphone to call Eisenkot a "traitor," "you murdered your son," and "you sold the army." Other protesters joined in chanting "traitor."

The same demonstrator then turned to Eisenkot's wife, Hannah, with a threatening statement: "You will not be, you will be next to your son." Eisenkot's son, Sergeant Major (res.) Gal Meir Eisenkot, was killed in combat in the Gaza Strip in December 2023.

The Yisrael Beiteinu party issued a sharp response, calling the "pathetic attack" a direct result of "rotten and unrestrained political leadership" that has "erased red lines to stay in power." The party also attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating, "This is the spirit blowing from Netanyahu's office and this is further proof of the immediate need to replace his government as soon as possible, for the sake of the State of Israel and Israeli society. At this stage, there is not even an expectation of condemnation, the shame is all yours."
