Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, accused Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity Party, of seeking to form a government with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lieberman stated on Facebook that Eisenkot is "Gantz 2," referring to Benny Gantz, a former defense minister and political rival.
According to Lieberman, Eisenkot is "leaving the option of a minority government on the table as a means of pressure on Netanyahu to be first in rotation." This suggests Lieberman believes Eisenkot is using the possibility of a minority government to negotiate a rotation agreement with Netanyahu, where Eisenkot would serve as prime minister first.
