The Yisrael! party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has responded to a speech by outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it "hysterical." The party stated that Netanyahu, who they accuse of consistently dividing Israeli society, only invoked the concept of "unity" as his time in office nears its end. Yisrael! asserts that Netanyahu has systematically worked against unity, even during the current difficult war, and has a history of undermining unity governments from within.
The party further criticized Netanyahu for forming the "October 7th government" with Itamar Ben-Gvir as a senior minister, allegedly breaking a promise. They characterized Netanyahu as a "prime minister of failure" who excelled at dismantling Israeli society rather than Hamas.
Yisrael! announced that a national emergency government led by Gadi Eisenkot would include only parties and Knesset members supporting four core principles, including recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization and committing to its military and governmental destruction. The party stated that Netanyahu, having failed in this objective, is not in a position to lecture on commitment to its destruction.
If Likud and its allies are genuinely interested in unity and a broad government, Yisrael! declared, they must publicly dissolve their alliance with "extremists," accept Eisenkot's four principles, and agree to join a government under Eisenkot's leadership. Until then, the party dismissed Netanyahu's speech as a "pathetic spin."
