Former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot posted on X a scathing critique of the government, accusing it of using the military chief as a political tool and dividing Israeli society, according to Channel 12 journalist Daphna Liel.
Former IDF chief of staff and opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar) posted a scathing statement on X on Thursday afternoon, accusing the government of 'turning the chief of staff into a tool in your dirty political game' and of dividing Israeli society. The post, first reported by Channel 12's Daphna Liel, comes amid ongoing political tensions over the management of the war.
Eisenkot has been a frequent target of criticism from right-wing figures who oppose his calls for a more inclusive conscription policy and his stance on the war in Iran. The Zioneer has previously covered attacks on Eisenkot from commentators such as Shimon Riklin and anonymous social media posts. In his latest message, Eisenkot struck back, framing the government's approach as un-Jewish and un-leadership-like.
The statement underscores the deepening political divide over the war effort, with Eisenkot positioning himself as a critic of the current coalition's handling of the military and political strategy.
