Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, presented his party's slate for the upcoming elections on Monday, warning that the vote will shape the country for years to come. The announcement drew immediate reactions from across the political spectrum.
Gadi Eisenkot, the former IDF chief of staff and chairman of the Yashar party, presented his party's full list for the 2026 Knesset elections on Monday, as reported by i24NEWS. Eisenkot stated that 'the elections will shape the lives of all of us for years to come,' framing the vote as a decisive moment for the country's direction. The list presentation comes amid a period of coalition negotiations and shifting alliances. As The Zioneer reported in June, Eisenkot officially launched his campaign in a high-profile event, and recent polls have shown his party gaining momentum, overtaking rival opposition figures. The Blue and White party, led by Benny Gantz, responded by attacking the Yashar list, warning that a vote for it would bring the country 'closer to civil war.' Separately, former minister Einat Wilf announced she would join the list of Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelicha. The political landscape remains fluid as parties finalize their slates ahead of the election.
