Trump surrogates discuss Netanyahu-Eisenkot unity government with Israeli officials
- Allies of Prime Minister Netanyahu are promoting a potential unity government with rival Gadi Eisenkot, a proposal President Donald Trump is reportedly receptive to, according to The Washington Post.
- Netanyahu has privately informed American and European officials that a partnership with Eisenkot could facilitate a more moderate coalition, allowing him to govern without far-right allies like Jewish Power leader Itamar Ben Gvir.
- Likud officials argue Eisenkot lacks the "backbone and the determination that Netanyahu has," adding that Trump wants a "stable and reliable Israeli government" that can be formed quickly.
- While some American officials believe Netanyahu could govern moderately without Ben Gvir, others remain skeptical due to his history, even as Trump representatives discuss the unity proposal with Israeli counterparts.
- If Eisenkot rejects the partnership and coalition talks reach an impasse, Netanyahu could remain as caretaker prime minister and seek another election, despite recent polling showing Eisenkot ahead of the incumbent.
