What was Gadi Eisenkot’s role in the Israel-Hamas War?

Gadi Eisenkot served as a nonvoting observer in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet through much of the first year of the Israel-Hamas War. From January 2024 until his resignation in June 2024, Eisenkot was critical of Netanyahu’s handling of the war, particularly his lack of an exit strategy, and pushed for prioritizing the release of hostages over the “absolute defeat” of Hamas.
