Blogger and commentator Dvir Luger claimed Monday afternoon that former IDF chief and war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot supports Salam Fayyad, the former Palestinian Authority prime minister. Luger alleged that Fayyad promoted unauthorized Arab construction in Area C to establish a future Palestinian state.
Blogger and commentator Dvir Luger posted Monday afternoon that former IDF chief and war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot supports Salam Fayyad, the former Palestinian Authority prime minister. Luger further alleged that Fayyad 'promoted unauthorized Arab construction of over 70,000 homes on some 95,000 dunams to establish the Palestinian state as a fact on the ground.' The claim, posted on Telegram, follows an earlier statement by Economy Minister Nir Barkat, who called Eisenkot a 'leftist who believes in a Palestinian state' — as The Zioneer reported Monday evening. Luger's post echoes that line of attack but provides no evidence for the specific claim about Fayyad's alleged support by Eisenkot. The post did not cite any Eisenkot statement, interview, or policy paper. Luger concluded with a rhetorical question about pension-funded appointments, apparently aimed at Eisenkot's career since retiring from the IDF. The claim is attributed solely to one blogger and remains unverified by any official source or independent report.
