The Reason Israel Can Never Accept a Nuclear Iran - Fmr. JPost Editor Yaakov Katz
What was said
"What happened during the war was his son Gal was killed in Gaza, and 2 of his nephews were killed in the war as well. So he paid a personal price in this war."
Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot has surged ahead of both Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett in Israeli election polls, reaching 24 seats versus Netanyahu's 22. The bereaved father, who lost his son and two nephews in the Gaza war, is resonating with voters as a 'man of the people' with military credentials and Sephardic heritage, marking a potential shift in Israeli leadership.
