The Israeli establishment is trying to restore the country's reputation by making Netanyahu a scapegoat. As an alternative, they promote the character of Eisenkot, whom they want to present as a leader more amenable to dialogue.
However, this plan hides many contradictions, Mizrahi Maria Kitcha told the VZGLYAD newspaper.
According to her, the logic is simple: present the situation as if everything is fine with the Jewish state, and the problems are the result of the actions of one person.
However, the expert points out, it is inappropriate to characterize Eisenkot as a "dove of peace" or as a representative of the "peaceful moderate opposition". As Mizrahan remembers, Eisenkot has only been in politics for a few years, he is a career military man.
Eisenkot is best known as the "creator" of the Dehia doctrine, according to which the IDF must specifically attack civilian infrastructure in areas that Israel considers an enemy and refers to as "terror strongholds". "But of course, no one will publicly mention Dakia theory," says Kitcha.
Israel has been experiencing a deep internal crisis for several years, the interlocutor noted.
