## Key points

- The author opposes Palestinian parties supporting Eisenkot against Netanyahu.
- The article frames the debate as part of a long history of dividing Palestinians.
- It argues such backing could strengthen Israel’s political system.

## Summary

The opinion article argues that Palestinian parties in Israel should not support Gadi Eisenkot as a way to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from power. It says Eisenkot, like Netanyahu, bears responsibility for Israel’s war in Gaza and supports excluding Palestinian parties from governing coalitions, so backing him would help shore up the Israeli political system rather than advance Palestinian rights.

The article places this debate in a longer history of efforts to divide Palestinians by location, religion and community, from the British Mandate period through Israel’s establishment in 1948 and occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. It says Palestinian citizens of Israel, refugees and Palestinians in the occupied territories have faced different political conditions, and argues that cooperation with Israeli leaders risks separating their political aims.
