🔶 The former Chief of Staff of the IDF prisoners: Netanyahu does not have the authority to lead another military operation against Iran

Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Ishar party and former chief of staff of the IDF, says that Benjamin Netanyahu, the country's prime minister, after three years of war, "is not qualified to lead another military operation against Iran." He also announced that his party plans to overtake Netanyahu's Likud party by a "significant" margin in the upcoming elections and form a new government by attracting former Likud voters.

According to the Times Prisoners of Israel, Eisenkot said he was not aware of any "vital developments" that would justify an immediate ground attack by the US and Israel's prisoners on Iran.

These statements are made while reports about the possibility of renewed clashes between Israeli prisoners and Iran before the elections on October 27, 2026 were published in Israel.
