Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party of orchestrating a campaign to delegitimize the election results. Eisenkot stated that this effort is driven by their loss and their inability to form a majority government.
Eisenkot revealed that he met with the head of the Shin Bet and the chairman of the Central Elections Committee to be briefed on the investigation into alleged foreign interference in the elections. He emphasized that it is too early to determine what occurred or if any interference actually took place, urging that professional bodies be allowed to complete their investigation without political interference. He also stressed the importance of investigating whether foreign actors attempted to influence the elections and through what means.
Eisenkot asserted that Netanyahu and the Likud are acting against the election results because they lack a majority. He declared that Israel operates under the rule of law and vowed not to allow any deviation from the scheduled swearing-in of the Knesset. He also claimed that Netanyahu's days of using state institutions for personal gain are over.
Looking ahead, Eisenkot announced that his party is preparing for the opening of the Knesset session and plans to advance several key legislative initiatives. These include a conscription law for all Israeli citizens, the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th massacre, and changes to the budget mechanism to benefit the serving public. He indicated that these plans are ready and will be brought to a vote in coordination with his partners.
Concluding his remarks, Eisenkot addressed the public, pledging to act with "calm and determination." He argued that the majority of Israelis voted against the incumbent government, which he labeled the "government of October 7th and evasion," and called for public restraint and patience. He promised, "There is hope. We will bring it. I commit."
