נמצא הכפיל של גדי איזנקוט
Standing beside a local man abroad, an Israeli traveler addresses him as Gadi Eisenkot and promises to return to Israel to vote for him. The man gestures with his hand as the traveler smiles toward the camera.
The clip, published by Israel's Israel Hayom under the title "נמצא הכפיל של גדי איזנקוט" ("Gadi Eisenkot's double found"), is a resemblance joke, not an encounter with Eisenkot. Its on-screen caption also presents the man as the politician's double. Neither the man's identity nor the location is established in the clip.
For viewers unfamiliar with the reference, Eisenkot is the leader of Israel's Yashar party and a former military chief of staff, a post he held from 2015 to 2019. Here, that recognizable political face becomes the basis for a traveler's impromptu voting pledge.
The Short drew about 72,000 views since yesterday. Its entire exchange lasts only a few seconds: the traveler makes his promise, then repeats that he is coming home to cast his vote.
Israeli general and politician who leads the Yashar party. He served as Israel’s military chief of staff from 2015 to 2019 and as a minister without portfolio from 2023 to 2024.
