Episode Details

Gadi Eisenkot, former IDF chief of staff and Netanyahu’s fiercest challenger, is surging in polls with a promise of moral leadership and accountability—especially after October 7th. His Yashar! party taps into public frustration over Gaza policy and Netanyahu’s decades-long grip on power. Eisenkot’s 2016 decision to back prosecuting a soldier who shot a wounded attacker contrasts sharply with Netanyahu’s pardon call, now a campaign flashpoint. As international allies grow critical—Europe distancing, even Trump questioning Netanyahu—Eisenkot pushes for an independent probe into the October 7th failures. With his humble roots and personal loss, he presents himself as the trustworthy alternative voters crave amid political fatigue and legal turmoil.
