The Yishai party revealed on Saturday evening that three designated members of Knesset from the Likud party had contacted members of the Yishai list in an attempt to recruit defectors. A statement from the Yishai party claimed that Likud was experiencing "hysteria" and that designated ministers and Knesset members, including Almog Cohen, Yoav Kisch, and Yaakov Bardugo, had called Yishai party members.
The Yishai party criticized the Likud's actions, stating, "The entire public sees your pressure from defeat. We are committed to fulfilling the public's decision and establishing a Zionist government that will act for all Israelis."
Earlier, Gadi Eisenkot announced his intention to meet with any member of Knesset who commits to his four conditions for political partnership. He stated, "Any member of Knesset who is willing to sign these principles is a potential partner on the way to forming a new government."
Eisenkot's four conditions for government partnership include recognition of Israel as a Jewish, democratic, liberal, and egalitarian state; commitment to the values of the Declaration of Independence; a duty of service for all citizens of Israel (military, national, and civil); and recognition of Hamas as a terrorist organization with the obligation to destroy its military and governing power in the Gaza Strip.
