Gadi Eisenkot Challenges Netanyahu for Israeli Prime Minister
Gadi Eisenkot, a 66-year-old former Israeli Chief of Staff and leader of the Yashar Party, has emerged as a primary opponent to Benjamin Netanyahu in Israeli politics. The Yashar Party, founded less than a year ago, is led by a political novice with a military background. Eisenkot briefly served in the government's war cabinet from October 2023 to June 2024 before retiring from the military and launching his political challenge.

Gadi Eisenkot AFP. Gadi Eisenkot a émergé ces derniers mois comme principal opposant à Binyamin Netanyahou. A 66 ans, il dirige le parti Yashar, fondé il y a à peine plus d’un an. Cet ancien chef d’état-major de l’armée israélienne est notamment connu pour avoir forgé la « doctrine Dahiyeh », du nom de la banlieue sud de Beyrouth, régulièrement bombardée massivement par les forces de l’Etat hébreu. Gadi Eisenkot a brièvement servi dans le cabinet de guerre du gouvernement, entre octobre 2023 et juin 2024, mais il est considéré comme un novice en politique.
