After Netanyahu's "Unity" Call, Eisenkot's "Delusional, Outgoing PM" Jab

Israel's political tensions grew on Tuesday after former army chief Gadi Eisenkot hit out at caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling his remarks "shameful"."I sat and listened to the outgoing prime minister's delusional, divisive, hate-filled and shameful speech, exploiting a state occasion," Eisenkot said.The attack came shortly after Netanyahu called for a national unity government, saying Israel needed to stand together against the growing threat from Iran.Speaking after the first session of Israel's newly elected parliament, Netanyahu warned that the country could soon face international pressure to accept a nuclear-armed Iran."In the very near future, we're going to be confronted by international pressure to accept a nuclear-armed Iran and the preservation of this terror regime that seeks to annihilate us," Netanyahu said.Eisenkot was quick to respond, accusing Netanyahu of using the occasion for political gains.
