Netanyahu Calls for Israeli Unity Government, Eisenkot Dismisses 'Tricks'
Netanyahu says only a broad coalition can meet Israel’s security challenges as Eisenkot weighs a 28-day mandate to assemble 67-seat backing.
- On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Yashar Chairman Gadi Eisenkot to meet without preconditions to form a "national reconciliation government," stating an agreement was essential for Israel's security and future.
- Following the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset on November 10, Eisenkot's party halted talks with Likud, though the two leaders later issued a joint security update at the Prime Minister's Office two days later.
- Netanyahu said the conscription dispute could be resolved by working with Haredi representatives, while emphasizing the need to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat; Eisenkot maintains universal military service is a condition for joining government.
- Addressing Eisenkot directly, Netanyahu warned that the alternative would be a "shaky and dangerous government" unable to meet security challenges, while calling the proposed coalition a "government of hope."
- If negotiations fail, 61 MKs could ask President Isaac Herzog to empower Avigdor Liberman, who as Defense Committee chairman recently joined Eisenkot in calling for parliamentary oversight of military engagements.
