“Netanyahu rival Eisenkot to form a govt: How Israel’s political shake-up could reshape its Iran, Gaza war strategy?”
“Benjamin Netanyahu’s potential exit could mark a political shift in Israel, but a change in leadership may not necessarily alter its military approach towards Iran and Gaza. Gadi Eisenkot’s political alliances and stance on regional security will be crucial.”
