Eisenkot praised the Oslo agreements and the disengagement - and came under fire from the right:
the former Chief of Staff and who is currently running in the elections for the 25th Knesset on behalf of the state camp, Gadi Eisenkot, visited a yeshiva in Efrat this morning (Sunday) and claimed that "disengagement and Oslo were significant steps". His words in "Israel Hayom" - a wave of angry reactions came from the right.
As I recall, Eisenkot addressed the question of the future in Judea and Samaria extensively this morning, and compared the situation to what happened during Operation Guard of the Walls in the cities involved.
"We are against a bi-national state and in favor of ending the conflict. Look at what happened in the cities that were involved, this is what the situation in Yash might look like if we get involved," he said.
"There were three people who took the most significant steps towards separation: Yitzhak Rabin in 1994-1995, who transferred to the Palestinians 40 percent of the territory of Israel and the Bay in the Oslo Accords, and 95 percent of the Palestinian population lives today under the Palestinian Authority. Benjamin Netanyahu in 1997-1998 in the Hebron and Ariel Agreement Sharon in 2005 in disengagement from the Gaza Strip.
With the publication of his words, politicians affiliated with the right came out against the former Chief of Staff.
Religious Zionist chairman Bezalel Smotrich said that "settling in the Land of Israel is a value."
The civil administration must be dismantled and sovereignty promoted.
Oslo and the disengagement were a disaster for Israel.
Now it's your turn.
What values will lead the next government?
Gantz Eisenkot and secession or religious Zionism".

His fellow member of the list, MK Ofir Sofer also attacked: "Ganz, Eisenkot and Kahana are the left in disguise.
Even a visit to Efrat will not obscure the fact that they will harm the settlement."
MK Orit Struck came out against Matan Kahana when she wrote on Twitter that "Eisenkot is a vessel holding a blessing - I told the students in Neve Shmuel, about an hour before he arrived, because he is removing the mask of the straw candidates of his party.
I never imagined that one of the fig leaves would come along with him and sit in the beit midrash to hear his leftist sermons together with the students.
What you choose is what you get, the Matan Kahana version."
The chairman of the Jewish Home, Ayelet Shaked, also commented on the matter and wrote on the Twitter page: "No matter how many domes the state camp counts in its top ten, they will not be able to hide the fact that Eisenkot and Gantz are leftists.
Both in words and actions.
I call on the right-wing people who mistakenly think to vote for them - return home to the Jewish home."

The head of the Beit El Shai Alon council also attacked: "It's scary to think that Gadi Eisenkot was chief of staff, it's scary to think that he will be a minister.
His presence in positions of influence is a real threat to the settlement and the citizens of the country.
With all the rights he has, we have already seen those with no less and even more great rights that spelled disaster for Israel's security."
