Netanyahu's Unity Call Sparks Eisenkot's Sharp Criticism

Israel's political tensions escalated as former army chief Gadi Eisenkot criticized caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call for a national unity government. Eisenkot labeled Netanyahu's remarks as 'shameful' and accused him of exploiting a state occasion for political gain. Netanyahu had warned of impending international pressure regarding a nuclear-armed Iran, emphasizing the need for unity against this threat. He stated that Israel must stand together to confront the challenges posed by Iran's regime. Eisenkot's response highlighted his belief that Netanyahu is 'unfit to remain in office for even one more minute.' The situation reflects the deepening political divide in Israel as coalition-building efforts begin.
