MK Tali Gottlieb Criticizes Gadi Eizenkot Over Netanyahu and Iranian Threat Comments

MK Tali Gottlieb sharply criticized former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot for his recent remarks about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Iranian nuclear threat. Eizenkot had accused Netanyahu of fabricating the Iranian nuclear threat to intimidate the public. Gottlieb responded on her X account, calling Eizenkot's statements "ignorance and stupidity at best" and an insult to the public's intelligence.

Gottlieb emphasized that while Iran has not yet completed its nuclear bomb, intelligence assessments presented to Knesset members indicate that without targeted strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, Tehran could finalize a bomb within a year. She defended Netanyahu's consistent stance on the issue, asserting it is based on these intelligence evaluations.

Furthermore, Gottlieb accused Eizenkot of deliberately spreading falsehoods to tarnish Netanyahu's image, warning that if he continues this approach, he will end up like Yair Lapid, "with no future." The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions surrounding Israel's approach to the Iranian nuclear threat and Netanyahu's leadership.
