  "summary": "During his final major rally before the vote on Sunday, Israeli election contender Gadi Eisenkot vowed to unite the country. Eisenkot cast Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as unfit to lead and pledged to establish a state commission of inquiry into the failures regarding Hamas.\n\nNetanyahu has campaigned on his security credentials and shared an AI image of an Iranian nuclear bomb exploding in Tel Aviv. According to the Jerusalem Post, Eisenkot responded to the image by calling Netanyahu “hysterical” and accusing him of using “lies and scare tactics.”\n\nArutz Sheva - Israel National News reports that figures close to Netanyahu and senior security officials believe military strikes might weaken the Iranian regime but would not be enough to cause its collapse.",
