Netanyahu Ally Claims Trump, Herzog to Guarantee Unity Government Deal
Translated & summarized from NEWSru Israel by baba
Dimona Mayor Beni Biton, an ally of Prime Minister Netanyahu, claims Netanyahu wants a unity government and that U.S. President Trump and Israeli President Herzog will guarantee a deal. The proposed "presidential mechanism" aims to overcome distrust from Gadi Eisenkot, who previously vowed not to join Netanyahu's coalition. A second obstacle is Netanyahu's past failure to honor a rotation agreement with Benny Gantz.

- Dimona Mayor Beni Biton claims Netanyahu wants a unity government, with Trump and Herzog as guarantors.
- Biton stated he spoke with President Herzog about the potential unity government deal.
- A "presidential mechanism" is proposed to address Gadi Eisenkot's distrust.
- Gadi Eisenkot previously vowed not to join a coalition with Netanyahu.
- Netanyahu's failure to honor a rotation agreement with Benny Gantz is another obstacle.
Beni Biton, the mayor of Dimona and considered a close associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has stated that Netanyahu desires the formation of a unity government. Biton asserted in an interview with Kan Bet that this is not a campaign tactic but a genuine intention. He suggested a "presidential mechanism" would be established to address concerns from Gadi Eisenkot, the head of Yashar. Biton claimed to have spoken with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and stated with certainty that both Herzog and U.S. President Donald Trump would serve as guarantors for an agreement, specifically assuring Eisenkot. Two primary obstacles stand in the way of a unity government. The first is Eisenkot's prior unequivocal statement during the election campaign that he would not join a coalition with Netanyahu. The second obstacle is a lack of trust in Netanyahu, stemming from his failure to uphold a rotation agreement with Benny Gantz.
