Opposition National Unity MK Gadi Eisenkot says IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi should resign, along with “those who had a role on October 7, from division commanders and their counterparts to the prime minister.”

Speaking with Channel 13 news, Eisenkot says he “differentiates between those who were elected and those appointed.” While praising Halevi, Eisenkot — himself a former chief of staff — says the currently military chief “will not be forgiven” for the “giant failure” of October 7.
