YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Gadi Eisenkot, a former head of Israel’s armed forces, has emerged as the main challenger to Benjamin Netanyahu in upcoming elections. #israel #netanyahu #politics #iran #trump #news

Polls indicate that Eisenkot’s new party Yashar will get slightly more seats than Netanyahu’s Likud in the Oct. 27 vote, which would give him the right to try and form a coalition government.

Eisenkot is seen as a stark contrast to Netanyahu in style, and his background and policies have given him a degree of support among Israelis, but he will face tough challenges in forming a stable new coalition.
