Gadi Eisenkot said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to use cryptocurrency against possible international sanctions would destroy Israel. Netanyahu said officials had been asked to develop a blockchain plan after warning on Friday that Israel must prepare for broader sanctions. Israel's central bank said cryptocurrency cannot provide a way around sanctions, according to Channel 10. Eisenkot warned that the proposal could push companies abroad and weaken national security. President Donald Trump endorsed Netanyahu's re-election bid on Tuesday, but Polymarket gave Eisenkot a 52% chance of becoming Israel's next prime minister, against Netanyahu's 27%.
