During the program 'The Patriots,' panelist Yotam Zmiri suggested that if the left wins the upcoming elections, Gadi Eisenkot would not hesitate to cooperate with Arab parties to form a government. Zmiri posited that the primary goal of such a coalition would be to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from the prime ministership, even if it meant partnering with parties like Ra'am and the Joint List.
Zmiri presented a hypothetical scenario where the left secures a victory but falls short of a majority needed to form a government. He expressed skepticism that Eisenkot would adhere to principles preventing reliance on Arab party support in such a situation. "Now you think that Gadi Eisenkot will come and say no, no, guys, no. I know what we achieved, but no, without Ra'am. Without the Joint List," Zmiri said sarcastically, implying Eisenkot would prioritize ousting Netanyahu.
Zmiri asserted that Eisenkot would indeed collaborate with the Joint List and any other necessary parties to achieve the objective of removing Netanyahu, whom Zmiri characterized as the "biggest enemy of the State of Israel" according to the opposition. The discussion took place on Sunday.
