Gadi Eisenkot

Security
Eisenkot's Yashar platform calls for moving from what he describes as a reactive security posture to "a proactive policy," including strengthening the IDF, fortifying Israel's borders, and expanding the military's ranks to ease the burden on conscripts and reservists. He has proposed capping mandatory annual reserve duty at roughly 50 days. He has said he would establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 Hamas attack to determine accountability and draw lessons for the future, and has criticized sitting cabinet ministers other than former defense minister Yoav Gallant for seeking re-election without having taken responsibility. On the West Bank, he has said he would reverse the current government's arrangement by placing the Civil Administration and policing activity back under military coordination.

Governance
Eisenkot has framed his candidacy around governing for all Israelis rather than through what he calls divisive coalition politics, and has ruled out a rotation-style premiership, saying Israel needs one prime minister serving a full four-year term. He has set conditions for any coalition he leads: partners must accept Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, commit to the values of the Declaration of Independence, and agree that all citizens should take part in national service; he has said he would not partner with parties that do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. His platform also calls for prime ministerial term limits, protection of judicial independence, and safeguards for minority rights.

Economy
The Yashar platform proposes restructuring tax policy to "reward those who bear the economic and security burden," centering economic policy on the working middle class, young people, and active-duty and reserve service members. It calls for prioritized government assistance and civil benefits for reservists, and public investment in transportation, healthcare access, and development of Israel's periphery. The platform also commits funding to repair war-related property damage and to support personal and communal resilience for affected families.

Education
Eisenkot's platform calls for a core national curriculum tied to the values of Israel's Declaration of Independence, aiming to combine "national identity and deep roots in Judaism and Israel's heritage" with a broad democratic and civic worldview. It proposes decentralizing some educational authority, expanding technological and scientific study, and equipping graduates with AI literacy and independent learning skills. The platform also states that schools outside the state education system would not receive state funding.

Immigration
On immigration, the Yashar platform sets a goal of bringing one million new immigrants to Israel over ten years, with a longer-term target of two million by 2048, aimed at reversing the emigration of Israelis abroad. It proposes a new immigration absorption system addressing language training, employment, and housing, including a hybrid-residency option for partial immigration, while preserving the Law of Return and its grandchild clause. On foreign relations, Eisenkot has criticized the current government for bringing Israel's standing with American society to what he called its "lowest point," and has said Israel's peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan should not be taken for granted.
