Former IDF chief of staff and minister Gadi Eisenkot said Lebanon has served as a political graveyard for Israeli prime ministers from Menachem Begin through Ehud Olmert to Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a single report. The remark comes amid ongoing tensions on the northern front.
Former IDF chief of staff and minister Gadi Eisenkot stated Friday morning that 'Lebanon is a political grave for Israeli prime ministers from Begin through Olmert and now Netanyahu.' The remark, reported by Abu Ali Express, aligns with Eisenkot's previous criticism of the government's management of the northern front. The comment references the historical entanglement of Israeli leaders in Lebanon — from the 1982 Lebanon War under Begin and the 2006 Second Lebanon War under Olmert, to the current multi-front confrontation under Netanyahu. No further context or elaboration from Eisenkot was provided in the report.
