Eisenkot Claims Exit Poll Mandate, Signals Break From Netanyahu's Strike Posture
🗳️ TEL AVIV — The man inheriting Epic Fury is already framing it as a rejection of Netanyahu. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Eisenkot's "lack of confidence" framing isn't concession talk — it's a pre-coalition signal. He's telling Washington he has a mandate to diverge from Netanyahu's timeline. That directly affects Epic Fury authorization: a new PM who ran against Netanyahu's war posture has political cover to slow or condition the strike plan.
