Eisenkot's anger at Netanyahu after his insistence on the formation of a national unity government, referring to the threat of Iran.
Gadi Eisenkot, appointed by the captive Israeli president to form the government, sharply criticized Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, during the swearing-in ceremony of the representatives and the inauguration ceremony of the new parliament.
In his speech today in the Knesset, Mr. Netanyahu reiterated the "nuclear threat of Iran" and asked the members of the new parliament to put aside their other considerations and priorities in order to establish a government of national unity, since according to him, only such a government can face this challenge.
In response to Mr. Netanyahu's statement, Gadi Eisenkot said: "I sat and listened to the delusional, hateful and shameful speech of a prime minister whose term of office has ended and who is taking advantage of a governmental opportunity."
He added: "Now I am even more convinced that he does not deserve this position even for a minute."
