Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, announced Tuesday that leaders of the "Change and Reform" bloc held a meeting to coordinate their steps toward establishing a national emergency government. According to Eisenkot, negotiation teams will soon begin drafting joint foundational principles. Concurrently, efforts will be made to elect a new Knesset speaker, advance legislation, and repeal laws he claims endanger democracy.
Eisenkot outlined four core principles for the new government: preserving Israel as a Jewish, democratic, and liberal state; upholding the values of the Declaration of Independence; enforcing the duty of military, national, and civilian service; and recognizing Hamas as a terror organization whose military and governing power must be destroyed.
Eisenkot also criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Likud party, asserting that as of Tuesday, Netanyahu is a caretaker prime minister supported by only 46 Knesset members. He accused the Likud of attempting to undermine trust in election results and warned of "ugly, false spins and briefings" in the coming days.
