Eisenkot Accuses Netanyahu of Document Tampering and Recalls 2004 Warnings

Eisenkot Recalls Past Warnings and Current Threats

In a recent interview, Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Yashar!" party and former IDF Chief of Staff, reflected on a prophetic 2004 interview where he stated that "there is no absolute victory" in the enduring conflict against terrorism. Reflecting on decades of security challenges, Eisenkot shared a deeply personal tragedy, revealing that threats and intimidating messages were recently left at the grave of his son, Gal, who fell in combat in Gaza in December 2023.

"I debated what to do about it, and in the end, I decided I would do nothing. At this stage of life, it is very hard to frighten me," Eisenkot said.

Allegations Concerning Pre-October 7 Documents

Eisenkot also addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to a state commission of inquiry, accusing him of concealing critical facts and pointing to potential criminal discrepancies in official documentation. Eisenkot expressed deep suspicion regarding reports submitted to the State Comptroller, suggesting that documents concerning operational preparedness against Hamas leadership prior to October 7, 2023, may have been altered.

• October 1 Meeting: Eisenkot noted that a security assessment convened by Netanyahu on October 1, 2023, explicitly recommended advancing operational readiness for targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders.

• Contradictory Versions: This evidence directly challenges the narrative presented by Netanyahu regarding his government's preparedness and actions in the days leading up to the outbreak of the war.
