The former Israeli intelligence official: Eisenkot's disagreement with Netanyahu is about the possibility of overthrowing Iran through military action. Eisenkot's real test will be the decision whether to join the US in another possible war against Iran. Denis Citronovich, former head of the Iran desk at Israel's military intelligence organization, referring to the difference of opinion between Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran, emphasized that Eisenkot disagrees with Netanyahu in assessing the possibility of overthrowing the Iranian government through military force; but this difference does not mean that he opposes the weakening of Iran, but the opposite. He predicted that if Eisenkot were to come to power, his first priority would be dealing with Israel's internal challenges, including establishing a government commission of inquiry into the events of October 7 and reducing the deep internal divisions. Citronovich added: Eisenkot's real test will come when Donald Trump calls him and announces that Washington is preparing another military attack against Iran. According to him, in such a situation Eisenkot must decide whether to accompany America in another war with an uncertain outcome or face the basic assumptions of a military strategy that has not yet managed to achieve decisive results. This former Israeli intelligence official emphasized that such a decision, more than Eisenkot's current positions on Iran, will determine whether or not he can truly be a strategic alternative to Netanyahu.
