Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, announced on Friday significant progress in negotiations to form a national emergency government based on four parties from the "Change Bloc." He stated that numerous meetings have been held with partners, some continuing in recent hours, and that "significant progress and breakthroughs have been achieved."
Eisenkot expressed hope to receive the mandate to form the government early next week. He clarified that he would approach all Knesset factions that agree to the four fundamental principles he has presented. Eisenkot also criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that his continued tenure endangers Israeli democracy.
According to Eisenkot, 74 members of Knesset (MKs) have not expressed confidence in Netanyahu's continued term, compared to 46 who support him. He issued a warning, stating, "Whoever tries to obstruct and torpedo the formation of the government for personal, not substantive, reasons will be remembered in history as someone who did not rise to the occasion and did not act to save Israel in a time of emergency. This will not be forgiven."
