Speaker Pick, Unity Call
The competition to form the Israeli government is intensifying between Benjamin Netanyahu, who is calling for a unity government led by Likud, and Gadi Eisenkot, who was tasked with forming a government after receiving the recommendations of 67 lawmakers, compared with 46 for Netanyahu. Eisenkot faces the challenge of winning over the ultra-Orthodox parties, which are demanding a legal arrangement guaranteeing yeshiva students exemption from military service, while his allies insist on expanding military service. Eisenkot and Avigdor Lieberman have expressed confidence that they can form a government that will last four years. The shape of the coalition remains unclear amid continuing disagreements over conscription and alliances. According to reports, Eisenkot and Lieberman have agreed on a candidate for speaker of the Knesset but have not announced the name.
