Who is Gadi Eisenkot, Israel’s former chief of staff challenging Netanyahu in the elections…!
Gadi Eisenkot, Israel’s former chief of staff and former member of its war cabinet, has become a key rival to Benjamin Netanyahu in the parliamentary elections on October 27. Although he generally supports Israeli military operations, Eisenkot broke with Netanyahu over the strategy in Gaza. His background as a military man, the son of Moroccan immigrants and a father whose son was killed in combat, contrasts with Netanyahu’s. His platform includes strengthening national security, requiring ultra-Orthodox communities to serve in the military, and supporting Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
