Gadi Eisenkot political positions and opposition

Overview

Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar Party and a prominent political challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has taken firm stances regarding the conflict in Gaza and the future of Palestinian statehood.

In late July, Eisenkot criticized reports of potential agreements between Israel and Hamas, asserting that any deal must ensure the “destruction of Hamas’ military and governing capabilities or its complete dismantlement.” He expressed concern that Hamas had rebuilt strength despite military successes and criticized Netanyahu for failing to present proposed agreements to the public.

By late August, Eisenkot explicitly rejected the two-state solution, describing the prospect of an independent Palestinian state as a “bitter mistake” and stating that pursuing such a goal after the October 7 attacks is “simply crazy.” While maintaining this position, he continued to criticize right-wing ministers regarding West Bank settlement policies and settler violence, warning that such actions jeopardize Israel’s international legitimacy.
