Iran's state-run English-language television channel, Press TV, has dedicated an extensive profile piece to MK and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who heads the "Yashar" party. The article, published under the title "Who is Gadi Eisenkot, formerly Israel's 'senior officer' and Netanyahu's main rival in the upcoming elections," analyzes his character, military background, and political positions. The channel defines Eisenkot as a "cruel military hawk and architect of war crimes," focusing on his role as one of the architects of the "Dahiya doctrine," which they define as a violation of international law. Alongside this, the article notes Eisenkot's heavy personal loss during the "Swords of Iron" war and the political capital he has gained. The central message of the channel is that all Israeli candidates share the same hostility toward Iran. Iran expert Sima Shine explains that from Tehran's perspective, there is no substantive difference between the candidates, and the focus on Eisenkot serves a propaganda need to show that Israel has no partner for an agreement.
