Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot blasts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Hamas disarmament deal announced yesterday by the US.
“Once again, Israeli citizens are learning about a fateful agreement from foreign publications, and the outrageous gap between Netanyahu’s promises and reality is further exposed,” Eisenkot tweets.
“After the heavy prices, the fallen soldiers and the wounded, he has capitulated in his political weakness without achieving the war’s objectives,” Eisenkot says of Netanyahu.
“Leaving Hamas in power in Gaza is… what led to the disaster of October 7,” he says, even though the disarmament deal is not supposed to leave Hamas in power.
“The State of Israel must not accept a reality in which Hamas survives, rearms, and waits for the opportunity to carry out the next massacre! Israeli citizens deserve leadership that wins, tells the truth and stands by its goals,” Eisenkot says, without laying out his specific issues with the US plan.
