JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Israel ke general election mein Benjamin Netanyahu ko sab se bara challenge dene wale sabiq army chief Gadi Eisenkot ne apni muhim ki bunyad is dalil par rakhi hai ke Israel ko us ki sab se taweel jang mein le jane wale shakhs ko is jang se nikalne ki qiyadat nahin karni chahiye.
Mangal ki voting se pehle ke polls mein dikhaya gaya tha ke un ka ittehad, jise dayen bazu aur markaz se hamayat milti hai, Netanyahu ke Likud ki qiyadat wale bloc ke saath kaante ke muqable mein hai, aur 120 arakin wali Knesset mein aksariyat ke liye darkar 61 seats tak kisi bhi fareeq ke paas wazeh raasta nahin tha.
Sipahi
1960 mein Tiberias mein paida hone wale Eisenkot ne taqreeban chaar dahaiyan fauj mein guzarein aur 2015 se 2019 tak Israel Defense Forces ke chief of staff rahe. 2008 mein, Northern Command ke sarbarah ke taur par, unhon ne woh nazariya pesh kiya jo Dahiya doctrine ke naam se mashhoor hua, yaani un ilaqon ke khilaf bhari taqat ka istemal jahan se Hezbollah gola bari karta tha. Is ka naam Beirut ke us nawahi ilaqe ke naam par rakha gaya jo 2006 ki Lebanon jang mein mismar kar diya gaya tha.
Siyasatdan
Woh 2022 mein Benny Gantz ke saath siyasat mein aaye. 7 October 2023 ko Hamas ki qiyadat mein hone wale hamle ke baad woh Netanyahu ki war cabinet mein mushahid ki hesiyat se shamil hue. Chand hafton baad un ka beta Gal Gaza mein larte hue halak ho gaya. Unhon ne June 2024 mein Gantz ke saath war cabinet chhor di, jang aur Gaza mein rakhe gaye yarghamalon ko sambhalne par Netanyahu par tanqeed ki, aur baad mein apni jamaat Yashar qaim ki.
Un ka paigham
Eisenkot ne Netanyahu par ilzam lagaya hai ke woh "khauf phailane, jhoot aur dhamkiyon ki muhim ka sahara le rahe hain" aur kaha ke unhein yaqeen hai ke US President Donald Trump, jinhon ne Netanyahu ki hamayat ki hai, "awam ke muntakhab kisi bhi rehnuma ke saath mukammal taawun mein" kaam karenge. Un ka kehna hai ke agli hukumat ko Iran ko nuclear hathiyar hasil karne se rokna chahiye, chahe taqat ke zariye ya US ki hamayat yafta muahide ke zariye.
Unhon ne Arab jamaaton ke saath shirakat se inkar kar diya hai aur mushtarka iqdar na hone ka hawala diya hai, haalanke Netanyahu ke daawon mein kaha gaya tha ke woh un ke baghair hukumat nahin chala sakte. Tajziya nigaron ne bahar haal aisi surat-e-haal ka khaka pesh kiya hai jis mein Arab jamaatein Eisenkot ki qiyadat mein qaim aqliyati hukumat ki bahar se himayat karein.
