Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
CenterNeutral tone
Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! party is exploring a plan to form a minority government in Israel, relying on outside support from the Arab Ra'am party and United Torah Judaism. The strategy involves these parties abstaining from key votes to allow Eisenkot to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The proposal faces significant opposition from within Eisenkot's bloc, particularly from Avigdor Liberman, and hinges on complex negotiations over military conscription and party representation.
