- Senior figures fear a Gadi Eisenkot-led government relying on Arab parties may collapse.
- Concerns exist about passing security and war-related legislation.
- Re-approval of West Bank regulations poses a significant challenge.
- Political paralysis and Knesset dissolution are potential outcomes.
- Mansour Abbas has commented on potential cooperation possibilities.
Senior figures within the "change bloc" are expressing concerns about the potential instability of a government led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, particularly if it relies on the support of Arab parties. These concerns center on the ability of such a government to pass crucial security and war-related legislation, with fears that it may struggle to secure a majority, potentially leading to political paralysis and the dissolution of the Knesset.
Eisenkot himself has stated his intention to propose the formation of a government under his leadership. The Chairman of the Joint List has also commented on the possibility of cooperation. However, within the change bloc, there are doubts about translating this political possibility into a stable government capable of advancing its agenda.
Another significant hurdle identified is the Judea and Samaria (West Bank) regulations. The outgoing government approved these regulations for a limited five-year term, meaning they will require re-approval within a year. These regulations were a key factor in the collapse of the previous Bennett government, and there are fears that securing a majority for them again could prove a critical test for a government dependent on Arab party support.
Failure to pass these regulations, alongside security legislation, could plunge the government into a crisis threatening its tenure.
