They placed our future above politics
Maj. Gen. (res.) Yitzhak Gershon calls on Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu to form a broad national unity government, with a proposed division of responsibilities: Netanyahu leads for two years, Eisenkot serves as defense minister and deputy prime minister, followed by a transfer of leadership.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Yitzhak (Jerry) Gershon, a former senior IDF commander, published an opinion piece on ynet calling on Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu to jointly form a broad national unity government. Gershon proposes a division of responsibilities: Netanyahu leads the government for the first two years, while Eisenkot serves as defense minister and deputy prime minister, with full involvement in strategic decisions. At the end of the period, leadership would be transferred to Eisenkot. Gershon argues that the national interest and ensuring Israel's future as the nation-state of the Jewish people require the two to set aside political rivalries. The article emphasizes the need for courageous leadership that will ensure the country's security and continued existence, while restoring public trust in institutions.
