Right-wing politician Moshe Feiglin released a video criticizing former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot's statement that 'Israel must win,' arguing that Eisenkot himself failed to define the enemy and thereby perpetuated the pre-October 7 'conceptzia' (conception). Feiglin recalled asking Eisenkot who the enemy is, and said the silence he received was telling.
Moshe Feiglin, a former Knesset member and head of the Zehut party, released a video Thursday criticizing former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot's recent statement that 'Israel must win.' Feiglin argued that the real problem is that Eisenkot himself never clearly defined who the enemy is, and that by calling Hamas a 'problem' rather than an enemy, Eisenkot perpetuated the pre-October 7 'conceptzia' (the intelligence and strategic conception that failed to anticipate the attack). Feiglin recalled asking Eisenkot directly who the enemy is, and said the silence he received was revealing.
Eisenkot's 'Israel must win' remark, made in a public appearance on June 15, was reported by The Zioneer at the time. The former chief of staff has been a frequent subject of political commentary, with various analysts on the right criticizing his record and his political ambitions. Feiglin's commentary adds a pointed critique from the hardline right, accusing Eisenkot of failing to articulate a clear strategic vision.
