A political commentator says he has been warning for months that MK Gadi Eisenkot, a former chief of staff, may become the next prime minister. The post, circulated on Telegram, says the trend has intensified and that right-wing anger at him as the messenger should be redirected toward examining decision-makers' own mistakes.
A political commentator, posting on Telegram Sunday afternoon, defended his repeated warnings that MK Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and current war cabinet observer, may become Israel's next prime minister. The commentator noted that right-wing readers have expressed anger at his predictions, but argued that the anger is misplaced and that decision-makers should examine their own mistakes.
The comment adds to a broader debate in Israeli political discourse about Eisenkot's potential candidacy. In recent weeks, several commentators have assessed that the government is positioning Eisenkot as a center-left candidate, while Likud has circulated messages to its ministers stating the party will not serve under a center-left figure like Eisenkot. The commentator's post reflects ongoing tensions within the right-wing camp over the political landscape ahead of possible elections.
