Claim
Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has set four conditions for forming a new government, including recognising Hamas as a terrorist organisation and committing to dismantle its military and governing capabilities in Gaza, according to Middle East Eye, which cited his statement on X.
Attributed to Gadi Eisenkot on X
Evidence
A search found the claim in a Middle East Eye live-blog item. That item says Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, posted a statement on X on Saturday setting out four conditions for a "broad Zionist government". The conditions include recognising Hamas as a terrorist organisation and committing to dismantle its military and governing capabilities in Gaza. TRT World and VINnews reported the same four principles. Times of Israel and JTA coverage confirms the wider post-election coalition context. I did not see Eisenkot's X post itself, and I found no Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo fact-check of this claim.
Supporting sources
Assessment
Middle East Eye's reporting matches the claim, and TRT World and VINnews independently report the same four conditions. I did not view the X post directly, so I did not rate this as primary-source verified.
Confidence
Independent, reputable sources corroborate (or refute) this claim directly.
