Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica TarlovOct 27, 2026
Multiple sources state Gadi Eisenkot is 66, and his birth date of 19 May 1960 makes him 66 on the claim's date of 2026-10-27. The post's 'Eisenstadt' is a misspelling of the same person, so the claim fairly reflects the passage.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Yeah, regardless of your views on October the seventh or the response to it, I think most Jews in the diaspora, at least, really feel like it's time to turn the page here. Yeah, and again, I think a lot of it comes down to age. Um, Netanyahu is 77, Eisenstadt is 66, and I think Netanyahu, similar to Trump two and, you know, two years ago, is running to stay out of prison.

Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The Anadolu Agency profile, published 2026-10-27, describes Eisenkot as 66 and running for prime minister in that day's election.[2]
Supports. The AP profile, a tier1 wire source published 2026-10-28, describes 'the 66-year-old' Eisenkot.[1]
Supports. The Statesman profile gives his birth date as 19 May 1960, and Wikipedia and Britannica list the same date, which places his age at 66 on 2026-10-27.[3][4][5]
Context. The post names 'Eisenstadt,' a misspelling of Eisenkot, in the same passage that refers to Netanyahu's age as 77. The extracted claim therefore matches the post's referent and does not add anything it never said.
