Political correspondent Michael Shemesh believes the most realistic path for Gadi Eisenkot to form a government involves a 63-seat coalition relying on the Ra'am and United Torah Judaism parties. However, Shemesh cautioned that this scenario is "a bit flimsy" and would require politicians like Avigdor Lieberman and Naftali Bennett to make significant compromises.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Dov Landau, a prominent Torah scholar, has instructed Knesset members from the Degel HaTorah party to engage in discussions with the "change bloc." The directive aims to "make every effort to regulate the status of yeshiva students," with Landau stating, "We are not in anyone's bloc, we are in the bloc of the world of Torah," according to Yishai Cohen.
Earlier on Friday, Yair Lapid, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, declared that the "change bloc" had won the elections. He indicated that behind the scenes, discussions are underway for government formation, likening the quiet process to a watchmaker meticulously assembling a clock, emphasizing that the outcome is what matters.
