Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, and Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, met for lunch on Monday at the Samarkand Bukharian restaurant. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half, after which both leaders expressed optimism about the possibility of forming the next government. Eisenkot and Lieberman conveyed full confidence in their ability to establish a stable government that would serve for four years.

The meeting took place amid advanced negotiations within the "Change Bloc" aimed at reaching agreements for government formation. However, one outstanding issue is the identity of the candidate for Knesset Speaker. Disagreements among the bloc's partners have not yet been resolved, but sources within the bloc believe these gaps are bridgeable. A decision on this matter is expected Tuesday, as the bloc hopes to finalize agreements and move forward with forming the government.
