Former IDF chief of staff and war cabinet member Gadi Eisenkot announced he is joining the party of social activist Alex Rief, according to Daphna Liel (N12). No further details on the party's platform or Eisenkot's role have been provided.
Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and member of Israel's war cabinet during the 2023–2024 conflict, has announced he will join a new political party founded by social activist Alex Rief. The report, by Daphna Liel on N12, did not specify the party's name, platform, or Eisenkot's intended role within it. Eisenkot, who served as an observer in the war cabinet after leaving the National Unity party, had been widely speculated to be considering a political comeback. Rief, known for her social activism, has not yet publicly detailed her party's political agenda. The move adds a major security figure to the nascent political landscape ahead of the next election cycle. No official statement from Eisenkot or Rief has been released beyond the N12 report.
