«A decisive victory on the battlefield, however important it may be, is not the end of everything. Even when the guns are silent, leadership skills and a sense of responsibility are necessary.” This was stated by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, speaking at the commemoration ceremony for those killed in the Suez war. A speech that resonates while the country awaits the designation of Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the opposition bloc, as prime minister candidate.
«Even today, alongside military force, great responsibility is required for the future of Israel. Our national resilience is not only measured through the ability to oppose our enemies, but also through our ability to remain united, side by side”, continued Herzog, who on several occasions called for the creation of a government of national unity.
Same line urged yesterday by Benjamin Netanyahu, but rejected by Eisenkot’s party. In a message on “If the Likud and its allies suddenly want ‘unity’ and a large government, they are more than welcome to publicly declare the dissolution of the alliance with the extremists, acceptance of Gadi Eizenkot’s four principles and willingness to enter a government under Prime Minister Eisenkot.”
