- Gadi Eisenkot is portrayed as a bereaved general trying to outmaneuver Netanyahu, as Israel’s election results come in and coverage turns to what happens next.
- Eisenkot vowed to swiftly utilize a Knesset majority “against the Oct. 7 government,” pairing his bid to outmaneuver Netanyahu with a specific legislative objective.
Why it matters: Netanyahu faces a challenger with both personal motive and institutional leverage: Eisenkot, described as a bereaved general, vows to use the Knesset majority against the Oct. 7 government. That makes the majority a concrete mechanism in their contest, while AP and The Atlantic situate the duel within Israel’s election aftermath and the “bursting” Tel Aviv bubble.
