Yashar! with eisenkot

With smear campaigns and a possible attempt to manipulate the Likud’s primaries, the PM might be aiming for an election rematch outcome

"Shirel is a symbol of the citizens who rose up after October 7, took responsibility, and decided to act in order to lead Israel toward repair," Eisenkot stated.

The latest poll showed that 41% of people think Netanyahu would make a better leader than Eisenkot, compared to 34% who think Eisenkot would be better.

With Eisenkot emerging as the opposition's strongest electoral asset, its rival leaders should stop competing for the top spot and instead present voters with a united shadow cabinet.

“Violence of this kind, 84 days before election day, could be a grave indication of what awaits us during this period and cannot be tolerated,” Eisenkot wrote.

The vandalism came days after Eisenkot's campaign billboards sparked debate in Cyprus over foreign political advertising and the island's growing Israeli presence.

"We regret that instead of focusing on securing important diplomatic achievements, you chose, once again, to exploit the occasion to spread poison and venom," the letter from Eisenkot's team said.

According to the poll, if elections were held today, Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot would each lead with 23 seats, an increase of two seats for each compared with the previous poll.
