Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented a clear condition for opening coalition negotiations with Gadi Eisenkot: Amir Ohana must remain the Speaker of the Knesset. According to Kan News, Netanyahu's associates conveyed this message directly to Eisenkot, the chairman of the "Yashar!" party, bypassing other leaders of the "change bloc." Netanyahu's circle clarified that while the Likud party is open to exploring various options for a joint government, they will not engage in talks if Ohana is removed from his position. They further stated that negotiations would not commence as long as the move to appoint a different Knesset Speaker is progressing.
Sources close to Eisenkot rejected this condition, asserting that the initiative to replace Ohana will continue. They also emphasized that joining a government led by Netanyahu is not currently under consideration.
