Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael party, issued a strong statement Sunday declaring that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must not continue in office. Eisenkot's remarks were prompted by a Channel 12 "Uvda" report alleging suspected involvement of the Prime Minister's Bureau in the detention of Arab citizens on election day.
"Under no circumstances should Netanyahu continue to hold the reins of power for even one more minute," Eisenkot stated. He added, "Under no circumstances should Israel be dragged into another election cycle with him as prime minister." Eisenkot asserted that as long as Netanyahu remains in office, fair and legitimate elections in Israel will not occur.
Eisenkot emphasized that this concern is his primary consideration in all coalition negotiations he is currently conducting. He indicated a clear divergence from Netanyahu, suggesting a move away from potential unity government discussions.
