Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar!" party, responded Tuesday to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech during the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset, which was disrupted by Naftali Bennett. Eisenkot strongly criticized Netanyahu's address, calling it "delusional, divisive, full of hate, and embarrassing." He asserted that Netanyahu "misused a state event" and that the speech convinced him "even more that he is unfit to continue for even one more minute in office."
Eisenkot further argued for the "urgent establishment of a national emergency government," stating that Netanyahu's continued leadership "divides Israel and endangers its security." He believes action must be taken quickly to form a new government.
Meanwhile, Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats, who left the hall during Netanyahu's speech, commented that the Prime Minister "is having trouble internalizing that the Israeli public fired him." Golan accused Netanyahu of "lying and inciting against the Arab public in an attempt to cling to power by force." He predicted that Netanyahu would soon be in the opposition and a "government of repair and salvation" would be formed in Israel.
