Eisenkot Lebanon Views
Israeli President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government after 67 lawmakers recommended him, compared with 46 who recommended Benjamin Netanyahu; seven declined to name a candidate. On Lebanon, Eisenkot supports preserving Israel’s freedom to conduct military operations against Hezbollah, including in Beirut’s southern suburbs. He may accept reducing the security zone inside Lebanon to around eight kilometers if this ensures that Hezbollah is kept away from the border and limits the threat posed by anti-tank missiles. He also makes the disarmament of Hamas a condition for rebuilding Gaza, and insists that Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons, while keeping the military option contingent on an imminent threat. His positions reflect the continuation of Israel’s security objectives, though the methods used to pursue them may differ. Their implementation, however, depends on his success in forming a government and reaching an understanding with Washington.
