Following the US midterm election results, which indicated a shift in American public opinion regarding Israel, Gadi Eisenkot, Chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, sent a message to "our friends and partners in the United States and around the world." Eisenkot, who is expected to receive the mandate to form the next government, stated, "The citizens of Israel voted for change and for the replacement of the current government. Our democracy is strong. We are working to realize the will of the citizens of Israel by establishing a new government as soon as possible, a national emergency government."
He added that his intention is to "bring new leadership to Israel, one that will act for all citizens of Israel. Together with my partners, we will build a stronger Israel: a Jewish, democratic, liberal, and egalitarian Israel, which is confident in its future." Eisenkot defined the relationship between Israel and the United States as one that transcends a government-to-government alliance, describing it as "a partnership between peoples, built over generations and based on shared democratic values. This stems from the belief that our nations are safer and more prosperous when they stand and act together."
Eisenkot pledged that under his leadership, "we will renew and deepen this partnership, strengthen the bipartisan foundations upon which it has rested for years, and work to advance the entire Middle East. We will act not only to reduce conflicts but also to leverage opportunities and collaborations." He addressed US President Donald Trump, expressing his "anticipation of working with him and his administration in close and fruitful cooperation." Eisenkot concluded by stating, "Israel will continue to be a central and reliable strategic partner of the United States in the Middle East. We will strengthen a partnership that benefits both nations in all areas of life. Together, we can advance our shared security interests, strengthen regional stability, and open new doors to prosperity for the Middle East. This is the Israel I believe in, and this is the future we intend to build."
