Eisenkot leveled severe accusations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alleging that Netanyahu provided false accounts to investigative bodies and the State Comptroller regarding the events leading up to the October 7 terror attack. The former chief of staff expressed deep suspicions of criminal activity, stating his assessment that reports were falsified and documents were cooked up to protect the Prime Minister's Office from scrutiny.
According to Eisenkot, a document prepared by Netanyahu's military secretary on October 1, 2023, indicated that security chiefs had recommended targeted assassinations of the terrorist organization Hamas's leadership. Eisenkot asserted that this document contradicts Netanyahu's version of events and suggests the Prime Minister opposes a state commission of inquiry because he has something to hide.
These revelations emerge during a heated election campaign where Eisenkot's party leads Netanyahu's Likud in recent polls. The campaign also focuses on the conscription of ultra-Orthodox men. In the interview, Eisenkot also referenced a 2004 article where he predicted his then-five-year-old son would fight in the territories, and stated that absolute victory against terrorism is unattainable.
