Minister of Culture and Sport Miki Zohar launched a sharp attack against former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, stating that in his opinion, Eisenkot is unfit to lead the country. Speaking on the program "Yoman Ha'erev" on Radio Galey Israel, hosted by Silvan Shalom and Doron Cohen, Zohar addressed Eisenkot's political aspirations and intentions to run for national leadership.

"Let him come and learn, let him come and understand how this thing works for a few years, and then maybe he will see himself as someone who wants to be prime minister too," Zohar said during the interview. Zohar claimed that Eisenkot's prominence as a leadership candidate reflects a recurring pattern among the opposition and the left, which he believes disregards actual suitability for the role.

"Ultimately, the left always finds some interim candidate to lead them to national leadership," the minister added. "It doesn't matter what his experience is, what his abilities are, whether he is suitable or not. So this time it's Eisenkot, and Eisenkot is not suitable for the role. That's the truth. It needs to be said, he is not suitable for the role."
