Coalition With Arab Parties Would ‘Dismantle’ State Of Israel
Netanyahu said a coalition with Arab lists would collapse Israel as Gadi Eisenkot explores a bloc that could reach 67 lawmakers, officials said.
- On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that a potential coalition between opposition parties and Arab lists would lead to the country's collapse, claiming it would dismantle the State of Israel from within.
- Following consultations on Thursday, President Isaac Herzog acknowledged it would be logical to give the mandate to Gadi Eisenkot, who was recommended by factions representing 67 lawmakers against 46 for Netanyahu's bloc.
- To form a majority, Eisenkot's coalition could include the moderate Islamist party Raam, whose leader recognized Israel as a "Jewish state," and receive external support from the Arab-majority Joint List.
- Yashar challenged Netanyahu and his Likud allies to "publicly announce" their willingness to join a government under Prime Minister Eisenkot, rather than maintaining their alliance with extremists.
- With the country polarized after three years of war, neither side secured a majority in the October 27 election, leading President Herzog to continue exploring a national unity government for Jewish Israelis.
