Gadi Eisenkot, the straight-talking Israeli former general taking on Netanyahu
As Israelis prepare for fall elections, Gadi Eisenkot is surging in polls to edge out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The retired general’s security credentials and perceived integrity appear to resonate with voters.

Until recently, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett appeared to be the opposition figure best positioned to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel’s election this fall.
