Eisenkot: Netanyahu must not remain in power for even one minute
Gadi Eisenkot warns against Netanyahu staying in power and reveals electoral manipulation
Translated by Alqyas from Sarmad — Original source
Israel’s designated prime minister tasked with forming a government, Gadi Eisenkot, said on Sunday that under no circumstances should outgoing prime minister and caretaker Benjamin Netanyahu remain in power “for even one more minute.”
He made the remarks in a post on the X platform, in which Eisenkot asserted that Netanyahu’s conduct and that of his inner circle constitute “a tangible and direct threat to Israeli democracy.”
He added that “not a single inch of Israel remains untouched by corruption and subjugation to serve Netanyahu’s hold on power,” stressing the need to prevent dragging Israel into a new round of elections while Netanyahu still holds the office of prime minister.
Eisenkot’s comments came in the wake of new evidence of what he described as an “alleged attempt to disrupt the elections” by Netanyahu and his government, allegedly involving the planting of fabricated evidence and directing the police against Palestinians in Israel to obstruct the voting process, without valid search or arrest warrants.
In this regard, the leader of the Yesh Atid party called for an urgent investigation and for immediate clarification from the police and the General Security Service (Shin Bet) regarding the details of the case.
He also affirmed that he would work to establish an investigative committee to examine Netanyahu’s office’s involvement and interference in the elections, as well as the conduct of security agencies before and during the voting process.
Channel 12 of Israel revealed in its own investigation that Netanyahu’s office planted suspicious intelligence information with the police and Shin Bet against Palestinians in Israel to cast doubt on the integrity of the electoral process.
