Gadi Eisenkot, a Member of Knesset and Chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, stated that the conduct of outgoing Prime Minister Netanyahu and his associates poses a tangible, direct, and immediate threat to Israeli democracy. Eisenkot asserted that no part of Israel has been left untainted or distorted for Netanyahu's personal political survival, claiming he has lost all restraint and crossed every boundary.
Eisenkot emphasized that Netanyahu must not continue to hold the reins of power for even another minute and that Israel must not be dragged into another election round with him as Prime Minister. He argued that fair and legitimate elections cannot be held while Netanyahu remains in office, stating this is his primary consideration in current coalition negotiations.
He further referenced the "Qatargate" affair, alleging that Qatari agents were brought into the Prime Minister's office. Eisenkot also highlighted a newly revealed, more serious affair involving an alleged attempt to disrupt elections by planting evidence and using the police against Arab Israeli citizens without valid search or arrest warrants.
Eisenkot called for an immediate investigation into this affair and for the police and Shin Bet to clarify the published details. He also pledged to work towards establishing a commission of inquiry to investigate the Prime Minister's office's involvement and intervention on election day, as well as the conduct of security agencies leading up to and during the elections.
