Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yashar Party, stated that the preliminary election results indicate a loss of confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, asserting that the Israeli public voted against Netanyahu's continued leadership. Eisenkot suggested that if Netanyahu were a worthy leader, he would have announced his retirement from politics. He cautioned against new elections given the high voter turnout and declared his intention to work on forming an alternative government.
In contrast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the Likud party is the largest in Israel and that the right-wing holds a majority among Jewish and Zionist voters. He pledged to form a "strong national right-wing government" and continue his administration's policies. Netanyahu highlighted his government's "brave decisions that changed the Middle East," citing the assassinations of Hassan Nasrallah, Ali Khamenei, Mohammed Deif, and Yahya Sinwar, as well as control over security areas in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, and strikes against Iran as examples of his government's security and military achievements.
These statements come as Israel awaits the final vote count, which will determine the potential composition of the next Israeli government.
