Eisenkot launches Yashar!

Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot announced the formation of a new centrist political party, Yashar! (Hebrew: ישר, "straight" / "upright"), positioning himself as a security-centrist alternative ahead of the next Knesset election. Eisenkot was a National Unity MK in the 25th Knesset and resigned from the war cabinet in June 2024 alongside Benny Gantz.
