Milan, 28 Oct. (LaPresse) – “Today, Israel went to the polls for a referendum on the leadership that will guide the country in the coming years” and “the people have voted in favour of change”. This was stated by Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rival in yesterday’s election, Gadi Eisenkot, amid applause from his supporters in Tel Aviv last night. Eisenkot’s speech focused on unity, and the former general promised “a new era, an era of hope” for Israelis. “The Israeli public has voted against Netanyahu’s tenure as Prime Minister of Israel; a worthy leader would have accepted the people’s vote of no confidence and announced his retirement from politics today,” Eisenkot declared, urging Netanyahu not to “exploit Israel’s security” for political ends.
