The new parliament has been sworn in, but the argument over who should lead Israel is growing sharper. MIRROR NOW reports that Gadi Eisenkot called caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unfit to remain in office after a speech Eisenkot described as divisive.
That is a sharper confrontation than the unity-government offer we described earlier, as we reported here. The disagreement is not simply about assembling a coalition: Eisenkot is challenging Netanyahu's ability to unite the country, while Netanyahu is invoking threats from Iran to argue for a national unity government.
The report says Netanyahu also accused Arab-led parties of endangering the state. Those parties hold enough seats to matter to coalition formation, with both Netanyahu's alliance and Eisenkot's bloc short of a parliamentary majority.
Eisenkot, a former Israeli military chief, has until December 6 to form a government, according to the report. His agenda includes a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 attacks, term limits and repeal of the judicial overhaul.
The upload drew roughly 67,000 views in its opening 16 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video.
Despite the confrontational title, this is a narrated news package using archival footage, not an uninterrupted recording of Eisenkot's speech. The reporting finishes around the three-minute mark; election counting, rallies and parliamentary footage continue afterward without narration.
Leader of Israel's Yashar party and a former military chief of staff. He led Yashar in the 2026 election as the main challenger to Benjamin Netanyahu.
