Netanyahu’s Unity Bid
Benjamin Netanyahu renewed his call for a national unity government comprising parties from the national camp and the ultra-Orthodox parties, insisting that the Likud lead the government. He criticized the possibility of forming a minority government reliant on support from Arab parties. The call came after Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government and gave him 28 days. Eisenkot is seeking to build a coalition that excludes Netanyahu. Eisenkot’s camp holds 48 seats, compared with 53 for Netanyahu’s camp, while the Arab parties hold 19 seats. Eisenkot needs to bring Shas and United Torah Judaism on board to reach a majority of 61 lawmakers, amid disagreements over drafting ultra-Orthodox men into military service and relying on support from Arab parties.
