Bennett's Party Director Expresses Support for Eisenkot's Government Formation Efforts
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Bruria Naim Arman, who is listed at number 11 on the "Beiteinu" party list and serves as its director, disseminated a message through WhatsApp groups stating that party chairman Naftali Bennett "continues to support Chairman Yahad, Gadi Eisenkot, in the difficult and complex task of forming a government." The message, seemingly referencing Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, continued, "To achieve significant results, one must act responsibly and quietly. Silence should not be interpreted as agreement."

Arman's statement suggests that Bennett's party is backing Eisenkot's efforts to assemble a coalition, while also subtly criticizing potential obstacles or demands from other political figures. The emphasis on "responsibility and quiet" and the warning against misinterpreting silence indicate a desire for a less confrontational approach to coalition negotiations.
