The Joint List announced on Tuesday evening that it would officially recommend Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, to the President of the State, Isaac Herzog, as the candidate to form the next government. The decision was reportedly unanimous.
In an official statement, the Joint List explained that while they are determined to oust Benjamin Netanyahu, the opposition bloc led by Eisenkot has not yet demonstrated sufficient willingness to confront Netanyahu's approach or to combat incitement against Arab citizens. The party stated that although Eisenkot has garnered more recommendations than Netanyahu, they see importance in widening this gap. They believe this move strengthens the chances of replacing the government and reduces the possibility of various attempts to form a national unity government that would keep Netanyahu in power.
