Shas Party Chairman Arieh Deri expressed support on Tuesday for the establishment of a broad government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would include Gadi Eisenkot. Speaking in an interview with Yossi Ben Atar on Kan Moreshet radio, Deri stated that such a coalition would necessitate concessions from all participating parties. "I am in favor of a broad government with Eisenkot under Netanyahu. Each of the parties will have to give up some of its power. I am pained by the division in the nation," Deri declared.
Deri's explicit endorsement of a broad government including Eisenkot, under Netanyahu's premiership, was framed as conditional on mutual compromises. He emphasized that the continuation of Netanyahu's leadership was a component of the framework he supports.
