Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, announced Monday that he will recommend Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yesh Atid party, to form a government. The recommendation will be made during consultations with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Lieberman also stated he would support Yair Lapid, the second candidate on the "Bayahad" list, for the position of Knesset Speaker.
During a press conference, Lieberman described the performance of the "Zionist opposition" parties in the Knesset elections as a "terrible failure," having anticipated more than 48 seats for their bloc. He placed responsibility on Eisenkot, asserting that Eisenkot conducted an "selfish election campaign" that resulted in the loss of seven to eight seats.
