Israeli election contender Gadi Eisenkot vowed to unite the country at his final major rally before the vote, Al-Monitor reported. The move came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to portray his main rival as soft on Iran ahead of polling day.
Eisenkot's emphasis on national cohesion contrasted with Netanyahu's campaign strategy of depicting the opposition candidate as weak on Iran's nuclear threat and regional influence. The competing messages reflected broader divisions among Israeli voters over security priorities and governance ahead of the election.
