Israeli ex-army chief emerges as main rival to Netanyahu ahead of general election

Israel is preparing for a highly competitive general election on October 27, with former military chief Gadi Eisenkot positioning himself as a major challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eisenkot's newly formed party, Yashar, is projected to gain more parliamentary seats than Likud, according to a recent poll. Eisenkot advocates for a comprehensive investigation into Hamas's 2023 attack, stronger national security measures, and reforms including universal national service. His platform emphasizes judicial independence, minority rights, and a robust defense posture, though his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains ambiguous.
