Netanyahu’s rival vows to end Hamas rule within 18 months if elected

Gadi Eisenkot, a rival of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, has made a promise to end Hamas rule in Gaza within 18 months if he is elected. This vow is significant because it highlights the ongoing struggle for control in the region. If Eisenkot's promise is fulfilled, it could have major implications for the Israeli economy, particularly for trade and commerce in the region, as well as for the overall stability of the Middle East.

Why it matters

A new leader in Israel could lead to increased conflict with Hamas. This could lead to a rise in tensions and instability in the region.
