Gadi Eisenkot: “The people will not forgive you for weakening the IDF during a comprehensive war, Netanyahu. It’s over. You are not…”

Israel’s security must never be conflated with the election campaign. Not even for appearances’ sake.

Violence of this kind, 84 days before election day, could be a grave indication of what awaits us during this period and cannot be tolerated.

I demand a comprehensive, thorough, and rapid investigation, and call on police to arrest those responsible and bring them to justice.

It was burning away the little legitimacy the state of Israel still possesses.
