The Nice Guy Suit Stayed Home: Eisenkot's Fury Erupts in the Heart of the Ghost Kibbutz | Rami Shani

Gadi Eisenkot and Gadi Moses visited Nir Oz, where Eisenkot attacked Netanyahu over the failure to achieve war goals and called for a state commission of inquiry. Moses, a hostage survivor, stressed the need for a committee to rehabilitate the kibbutz. The visit took place against the backdrop of destruction and silence in the kibbutz, with early signs of life returning.

Gadi Eisenkot, a member of the Yashar party and former Chief of Staff, visited Kibbutz Nir Oz together with hostage survivor Gadi Moses, and voiced sharp criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eisenkot said that the war's objectives have not yet been achieved, and that he does not see Hamas as a partner. He accused Netanyahu of using three recurring motifs in election campaigns: that only he can bring security, that the candidate opposite him will establish a Palestinian state, and that they will go with the Arab parties. Moses, who survived captivity, called for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the failures of October 7, and said that without such a committee there will be no rehabilitation. The visit took place against the backdrop of destruction in the kibbutz, with burned houses and terrible silence. Some residents have returned, but others are afraid. The article describes the bureaucracy delaying rehabilitation, and the first signs of life returning, such as a green peanut field and parked cars.
