Honestly don't know enough about Israeli politics to have a proper opinion, but anytime a former military bloke gets put in charge instead of a career politician, my ears prick up a bit. Reminds me of when my dad used to say "sometimes you need someone who's actually had to make hard calls, not just talk about them" - though he was talking about foremen at the depot, not prime ministers. Suppose we'll see if Eisenkot's actually different or just the same old song with a different singer.
