Former IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot Predicts State Inquiry Will Proceed Amid Netanyahu Criticism

Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces and current chairman of the Yashar party, responded to the recent approval to advance a political investigation in its preliminary reading. Eisenkot asserted that a state commission of inquiry will inevitably be established, stating, "Only those who know the truth and fear it establish a politically motivated commission to obscure facts and manipulate public perception retroactively." He directly addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of fear and urging him to disclose the full protocols and truth to the public. Eisenkot's remarks come amid ongoing political tensions surrounding the investigation's scope and implications.
