TL;DR

Yoav Horowitz, a former close confidant of Benjamin Netanyahu who served as chief of staff at the Prime Minister's Office, has joined the party of MK Gadi Eisenkot. Horowitz will lead Eisenkot's '100-day team', tasked with crafting an actionable government plan for Day One of the next administration.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Yoav Horowitz, who served as Netanyahu's chief of staff and one of his closest confidants, has joined Yesh Atid–led party figure Gadi Eisenkot. In a statement released Sunday, Horowitz confirmed he will head Eisenkot's '100-day team', a transitional task force charged with preparing a detailed policy roadmap for the first hundred days of the next government.

Horowitz praised Eisenkot for the trust placed in him, said the team is well-versed in government, Knesset and public service operations, and declared the mission 'the most important there is'. The move consolidates a growing center-left bloc ahead of the next election cycle, as Eisenkot — Israel's former IDF chief of staff turned Knesset member — builds his leadership infrastructure.
