Gadi Eisenkot's "Yashar!" party has issued an ultimatum to Channel 14, demanding the immediate retraction of a report by reporter Shlomo Rizel. The report alleged that Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, is engaged in negotiations with foreign entities regarding an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Eisenkot's party vehemently denies these claims, calling the report a "complete lie" and demanding a public apology from Rizel and the channel.
The controversy began when Rizel reported on a Channel 14 program that a political source claimed Eisenkot was conducting talks with foreign parties about Israel's policy in Lebanon and post-war scenarios, even before a government was formed. Rizel stated his source stood by the information.
In response, the "Yashar!" party released a sharp statement rejecting the publication as "a complete lie, devoid of any factual basis, that never happened and was never created." The party demanded the channel immediately remove the report and Rizel issue a clear and unequivocal public apology.
The party further accused Channel 14 of operating under "atomic pressure" and running a "lie and propaganda machine" as the possibility of replacing the current government approaches. They alleged the channel is spreading baseless publications to divide the public and thwart the formation of a new government in Israel. The party concluded by emphasizing their demand for immediate deletion and an explicit apology, stating that "no lie campaign by Netanyahu and his envoys will change the public's decision."
