Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, has officially received the mandate to form a new government in Israel. He called on all parliamentary factions to unite to overcome the country's prolonged crisis. Eisenkot stated his intention to immediately begin forming an emergency national unity government, emphasizing the critical importance of the current moment for the future of the Jewish state. He believes the nation has reached a point requiring unconventional compromises from all participants in the electoral process.
Eisenkot appealed directly to all elected Knesset members, proposing consultations without preconditions. He noted that years of internal disagreements have left many Israelis feeling unsupported by their leadership, a situation that must change permanently. The new leader of coalition talks expressed readiness to work with any faction that acknowledges the scale of societal challenges.
