Michal Mahanin, a strategic consultant and polygraph examiner, analyzes Gadi Eisenkot's frequent sips of water during his first speech after receiving the mandate to form a government. The article compares the sips to ancient lie-detection rituals, such as the Bedouin 'Bisha' test, and explains that a dry mouth may indicate stress, anxiety, or a stress response. The author claims that Eisenkot displayed a lack of verbal fluency, intense reading from the teleprompter, lack of charisma, and a ridiculous performance. She criticizes his disregard for his political partners, his vagueness regarding coalition formation, and his false promise not to rely on the votes of Haredim and Arabs. The article concludes by stating that Eisenkot is expected to be the 'ultimate savior' for the Bedouins, alluding to the ancient ritual.
