Leading challenger to Benjamin Netanyahu, former IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot: Netanyahu will lose these elections. The next prime minister of Israel will not be Benjamin Netanyahu. It is not reasonable that he be appointed after he was there on October 7, after he has dragged Israel into two and a half years of war. There are excellent military achievements in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Iran. He does not succeed because of leadership — disregard for strategy, lack of ability and courage to make decisions to close this circle.
