Gadi Eisenkot: The ex-general seeking Israel’s highest political office

Israel election news: Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar Party, aims to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in elections. Election polls indicate that neither political bloc may secure a parliamentary majority needed for governance. Eisenkot focuses his campaign on security, governance, and military decision-making against Hamas and Hezbollah.
