Professor Moshe Cohen Eliya has offered his assessment of the current political landscape, predicting a series of failures in government formation attempts. He believes that Gadi Eisenkot will be unable to establish a minority government, even with Arab support or abstention, due to Avigdor Lieberman's veto. Furthermore, Cohen Eliya anticipates that Eisenkot will not succeed in securing the support of Ashkenazi Haredim, who he suggests will not accept assurances regarding the 2018 conscription law. Consequently, Cohen Eliya predicts Eisenkot will fail, leading to the mandate passing to Benjamin Netanyahu, who he also expects to fail. Following this, Lieberman may attempt to enter the political arena when the mandate returns to the Knesset for a decision. Cohen Eliya is betting on either a unity government or a return to elections.
Separately, Amit Segal commented on a political statement, suggesting that "it will start to get interesting."
