Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, spoke Monday evening at the launch of the party's candidate list, calling for a decisive electoral victory. 'The public is disgusted with the existing leadership style and chose Yashar,' he said, according to The Zioneer.
Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, told supporters Monday evening at the launch of the party's Knesset candidate list that "the public is disgusted with the existing leadership style and chose Yashar," calling for a clear and decisive victory. The remarks came at the same event where he had earlier warned that Israel faces an "immediate danger" on its current path, as The Zioneer reported at 18:13 Jerusalem.
The event marked the formal presentation of Yashar's electoral slate. At 18:13 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Eisenkot presented the party list and warned the vote would shape the country for years to come. Concurrently, The Zioneer reported his warning that "we must wake up before it's too late and choose real security." The successive statements — from the same Monday evening event — show Eisenkot framing the election both as an urgent security test and a popular rejection of the current government.
The Zioneer has tracked Eisenkot's campaign since his official candidacy launch in late June, when he declared that "a new and much better chapter in our history is coming soon." Throughout July, he positioned Yashar as the only party capable of forming a "Zionist conscription government," arguing that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot build a coalition without parties that promote draft evasion. In early August, Eisenkot told the Frontline Communities Forum that Israel must prioritize victory in the north before focusing on national unity. His platform emphasizes universal military service, a security-first approach, and criticism of the current coalition's reliance on non-Zionist factions.
No unverified claims were flagged in the evening's addresses. The election campaign continues, with Eisenkot seeking to translate polling momentum into a governing mandate.
