Israeli opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot pledged to end Hamas rule in Gaza within 18 months if he becomes prime minister after Israel’s October 27 election.
Eisenkot, a former military chief who leads the centre-right Yashar party, said he would pursue either the ceasefire plan backed by U.S. President Donald Trump or Israeli military operations targeting Hamas’s armed wing. He accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a “strategic failure,” saying Hamas remained armed and active after three years of war.
Hamas said in July that it would dissolve its governing body and later agreed to hand its weapons to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a technocratic Palestinian body based in Cairo and overseen by Trump’s Board of Peace. However, Hamas has not disarmed, Israel has not begun the withdrawal linked to that process, and the committee is not operating inside Gaza.
Eisenkot also repeated his promise to establish a state commission investigating security failures preceding the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
He is among five opposition leaders who signed a non-aggression pact in September aimed at replacing Netanyahu. Current polling indicates that neither Netanyahu’s bloc nor Eisenkot’s opposition grouping is positioned to secure the 61 seats needed for a majority in Israel’s 120-seat parliament.
