Former military chief Gadi Eisenkot has criticized the National Unity party, which he co-founded, calling it a 'failure' in a recent interview. Eisenkot, who left the party days ago, said that while the party's founding idea was strong, its execution fell short, and he accepted partial responsibility alongside Benny Gantz and Gideon Sa'ar. He cited internal disagreements, lack of democratic processes, and the party's failure to present itself as a genuine alternative to the current government as key reasons for his departure. Despite ongoing respect for Gantz, Eisenkot emphasized the importance of unity paired with decisive leadership and institutional reform.
