The Zehut party, led by Moshe Feiglin, has made a surprising declaration, stating its willingness to join a "change government" coalition, despite recommending Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister. The party's CEO announced during consultations at the President's Residence that Zehut does not rule out joining a coalition with parties from the "change bloc." "Truth dictates that we must not disqualify any person, and in the political context the President asked about now, Zehut does not disqualify any person. It discusses ideas," the CEO stated. He further clarified that their recommendation for Netanyahu is not a commitment to join only his government. "We would be happy to be part of any coalition without disqualifying any party, even from the other camp, except for the Arab parties," he said. However, any coalition participation is contingent on the adoption of the party's core principles, including a reversal of the Oslo Accords and preventing another massacre like the one on October 7th. This statement comes amid efforts by the "change bloc" leaders to form a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot. Feiglin had earlier indicated he would recommend Netanyahu to honor his commitment to voters, but stressed that his support for a future government is not guaranteed.
