Gadi Eisenkot, a former Israeli military commander, has been openly criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, posing a potential threat to his position.
What happened
Eisenkot, who is now the leader of the Yashar party, has been unrestrained in his criticism of Netanyahu. His stance is not considered dovish, despite his criticism of the prime minister.
In the past, Eisenkot has demonstrated his willingness to speak out against actions he disagrees with, such as when he condemned the killing of a wounded Palestinian terrorist by an Israeli soldier in 2016.
Eisenkot's criticism of Netanyahu has been notable, and his military background has given him a platform to speak out against the prime minister's actions.
