Eisenkot-Haredi coalition
A government led by Gadi Eisenkot and backed by the Haredi parties is mathematically possible: his bloc has 48 seats, rising to 61 with United Torah Judaism and Shas, even though his camp won 48 seats compared with Netanyahu’s 53. Politically, however, its prospects remain difficult and hinge on a compromise over the conscription law. The Haredim want to protect yeshiva students and their budgets, while Eisenkot pledges to enlist everyone; moreover, the Supreme Court could strike down any blanket exemption. The government’s priorities could include ending the wars in Gaza and Lebanon and easing internal divisions. But if no agreement is reached, Netanyahu could be given the mandate to form a government again, or the country could head to new elections.
