Joseph Massad, writing for Middle East Eye, cautioned Palestinian parties against backing former Israeli general Gadi Eisenkot's political ambitions, arguing he would offer no meaningful change from current Israeli policy. Massad noted that Eisenkot served in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet and has pledged to form a "Zionist" government, positioning him as continuity rather than an alternative.
The commentary reflects Palestinian concerns that Eisenkot's potential rise to power would not advance Palestinian interests despite possible shifts in Israel's political landscape.
