Eisenkot Calls on Netanyahu to Resign

Former Chief of the General Staff of Israel Gadi Eisenkot publicly called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign amid an assessment of the results of the military operation against Iran. The statement came after discussions within Israel’s political and military establishment.

Eisenkot pointed to shortcomings in strategic management and coordination, which in his view affected the effectiveness of the operation. He emphasized that errors in decision-making and in assessing consequences led to a weakening of the country’s position and an increase in internal and external risks.

The criticism from the former head of the General Staff reflects disagreements within Israel’s leadership regarding the course and outcomes of the military campaign. Such statements intensify domestic political pressure on the government and may influence further decisions in the security sphere.

At the same time, the official position of the cabinet is that the army’s actions corresponded to the stated objectives. Government representatives continue to insist on the necessity of a firm line toward Iran.

The situation is unfolding amid ongoing regional tensions. It remains unclear whether Eisenkot’s call will lead to political changes or remain part of the public debate.
