Eisenkot Speaker Deal
Disputes over the formation of Israel’s next government are intensifying. Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for a unity government led by Likud, while Gadi Eisenkot is seeking to build an alternative coalition after being tasked with forming a government, backed by recommendations from 67 Knesset members, compared with 46 for Netanyahu. The main obstacle is whether ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students should be exempt from military service. Their support is contingent on a legal settlement and enforceable guarantees, while Eisenkot’s allies reject any retreat from expanding conscription. Eisenkot and Avigdor Lieberman said they were confident they could form a government that would last four years. They agreed on a candidate from the Yashar party for Knesset speaker, but the candidate’s name and the date of the vote have not been settled. The final form of the coalition also remains unclear.
