Episode Details

A former Israeli military chief, Gadi Eisenkot, is launching a bold political challenge against Prime Minister Netanyahu, accusing him of flawed Gaza strategy and positioning himself as the unifying, everyman alternative. Eisenkot’s personal loss — his son killed in Gaza — fuels his credibility, while his platform blends national security, regional cooperation, and controversial pledges like mandatory military service for ultra-Orthodox Israelis. Netanyahu fires back, claiming Eisenkot’s approach would’ve left Hamas in charge. With Israel’s fractured politics and complex coalition needs, Eisenkot’s path to victory is steep — but his message of unity and accountability could resonate with voters weary of endless conflict.
