Five days before the elections, MK Amit Halevi from Likud harshly attacked former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, who is currently running on an independent list, accusing his military doctrine of 'neutering the IDF' and contributing to the October 7 failure. Halevi said at a conference of the 6:29 Institute that 'the reason the IDF was in shock' is that there has been no war in the IDF for 30 years, and that an entire school of thought consistently neutered the army, removing the concept of war, and Eisenkot made this approach a highlight of IDF strategy. Halevi referred to the 2015 IDF strategy document and the campaign between wars concept updated in 2018. The article does not include a response from Eisenkot or his representatives.
