Mayors and council heads from across Israel have issued an urgent appeal to party leaders, calling for the formation of a broad national unity government to represent the "overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens." The letter, addressed directly to Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu and "Yash" party Chairman Gadi Eisenkot, urges them to set aside political differences.
Among the signatories are influential Likud figures, including Yechiel Zohar, Mayor of Netivot, and Yair Rabibo, Mayor of Lod, who is the brother of MK Eliyahu Rabibo. The initiative highlights the widespread desire for national reconciliation and stability.
On Thursday, the day party representatives are scheduled to present their recommendations to the President, the Fourth Quarter movement, along with "Al HaDegel," will hold a vigil outside the President's Residence. They aim to persuade party delegates to recommend a unity government.
Dr. Yoav Heller, chairman of the Fourth Quarter movement, stated that the mayors' involvement demonstrates the public's "thirst for connection and partnership." He emphasized the need for national responsibility and healing divisions during this "historic hour." Heller added that they will ensure the public's demand for a unity government is clearly heard.
The mayors stressed in their letter that after challenging years, it is time to "join forces, heal divisions, rebuild the country, and strengthen security and the economy." They asserted that their daily interactions with citizens reveal that "what unites us is greater than what divides us," concluding with a direct plea to Netanyahu and Eisenkot that the responsibility for unity rests with them.
