[109164] Criticism from the Right regarding Gadi Eisenkot's participation in the Kaplan protests

Political protest: Gadi Eisenkot documented at the Kaplan protests

On July 2, 2026, reports and documentation were circulated on social media of Knesset member Gadi Eisenkot participating in the protest against the judicial reform at the Kaplan junction. According to the report on the YINONEWS - Yinon Magal channel, known for its pro-Netanyahu and right-wing camp stance, Eisenkot was seen wearing a shirt of the 'Brothers in Arms' organization.

The reports received significant resonance on Telegram channels identified with the right. The channel Israel News | No Censorship - Voice of the News, characterized by its critical lines toward figures in the defense establishment and the opposition, shared the documentation and added Yair Netanyahu's reference to the event. In one of the messages, the channel hinted that this involves "a senior partner of Eisenkot" according to Israel News | No Censorship, while using criticism directed at the Knesset member's political conduct.

The media engagement with the event reflects the ongoing political tension in Israel, where each side in the discourse uses such documentation to criticize its political rivals. While right-wing channels emphasize Eisenkot's participation under the symbols of the protest, it provokes anger among government supporters who interpret it as a defiant political move.
