Gadi Eisenkot

Footage of the incident shows several protesters surrounding and attacking the Yashar Party activist after he tried to take down a sign calling for Yigal Amir's release.

His comments came after Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot stated that leaders of smaller parties in the opposition bloc should not insist on seeking the premiership.

Earlier on Friday, a diplomatic source told The Jerusalem Post that the IDF will not withdraw from its current Yellow Line position in Gaza prior to Hamas's full disarmament.

The vandalism came days after Eisenkot's campaign billboards sparked debate in Cyprus over foreign political advertising and the island's growing Israeli presence.

In a world under constant threat of global jihad, blaming the Jews remains reliable and familiar. The real genocide has been either ignored or accepted.

A Maariv poll found that Likud rose to 22 seats, while Benny Gantz, Ayelet Shaked, Yuli Edelstein, and Dedi Simchi could win four seats with a new party.

Israel elects 120 members of Knesset by proportional representation; nobody has ever won a majority, 61 is the only number that counts.

"We regret that instead of focusing on securing important diplomatic achievements, you chose, once again, to exploit the occasion to spread poison and venom," the letter from Eisenkot's team said.

According to the poll, if elections were held today, Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot would each lead with 23 seats, an increase of two seats for each compared with the previous poll.

Haskel said that she would consider alliances with those who see themselves as able to be part of a broad Zionist government and would be willing to sit in a government with Netanyahu.
