Eizenkot's call for the continuation of Chili Tropper's work

In a series of statements published during the day (May 3, 2026), Member of Knesset and former Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot addressed the issue of the possible retirement of Member of Knesset Chili Tropper from public life. Eizenkot chose to express sweeping support for Tropper and called on him to continue in his public roles.

According to Amit Segal, who emphasizes an editorial line with ties to the political right, Eizenkot noted that he would "be very happy to see him continue in public life in order to bring about change and hope, for a better and stronger Israel."

In a joint report by Channel 12 and 99 FM - Yanir Cozin and Yaron Avraham, along with Israel Hayom and Hot News, Eizenkot's words of praise were highlighted, calling Tropper a "friend and partner on the path" and "one of the best people the Israeli Knesset has known." Eizenkot praised Tropper's work in strengthening Israeli solidarity and supporting bereaved families and the wounded during the war.

Ben Caspit, the journalist identified with positions critical of Netanyahu, also documented the event and emphasized the importance attributed to Tropper's figure in the current political discourse. Ynet News, Michael Shemesh, and News Arena joined the reports on Eizenkot's call, who is seeking to preserve Tropper in the political system against the backdrop of emerging changes.
