What Do We Have to Do with a Man with Seven Residences?

Lior Ben Ami compares the old story of Benjamin Netanyahu, which has lost credibility, with the new story of Gadi Eisenkot, a Golani soldier who lost his son and nephews in the war and embarks on a journey of repair in Israeli society. The author argues that Eisenkot's story is authentic and reflects the people, unlike the old narrative.

In an opinion piece, Lior Ben Ami presents the new Israeli political story: Gadi Eisenkot, the Golani soldier from Battalion 51, former Chief of Staff, son of Moroccan immigrants, who lost his son and two nephews in the last war, embarks on a journey of repair in Israeli society. The author compares this to the old story of Benjamin Netanyahu, which has lost credibility in the eyes of the public, especially after the disaster of that morning. He argues that Eisenkot's story is authentic, reflects the people, and does not promise a happy ending, but only the presence of someone who is on our side. The article mentions Dr. Moshe Cohen Eliya from "The Patriots" who describes five right-wing Mizrahi friends who intend to vote for Eisenkot, and Yinon Magal who mocks the conference in Kiryat Shmona. At the end, a statistic is mentioned: 268,509 Israelis left in the last three years.
