Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yesh! party, said at an event unveiling his party's list for the 26th Knesset that "this election is more important and fateful than ever. There are those who try to make us believe that leadership is the art of manipulation, lies, deceit and trampling. I say clearly this evening: Israel is fighting for its security and its deepest interests. The way Israel is being led today is dangerous. This is not a general warning, this is an immediate and tangible warning. Israel and Israelis need new leadership, unifying leadership."
