Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the formation of a national unity government for the second time in two days. In a video released Monday evening, Netanyahu emphasized the urgent need for national unity, particularly in light of statements from the "change bloc" regarding Knesset Member Gadi Eisenkot's efforts to form an emergency government. "Forming a national unity government is an urgent necessity, indeed, it is the necessity of the hour," Netanyahu stated in the video. He further elaborated that such a government is required "firstly because Iran cannot be fought with a government that relies on Hamas supporters." Netanyahu stressed that the government should include "all parties of the national camp, including the ultra-Orthodox parties and all other Zionist parties. Enough boycotting."
Netanyahu did not address the possibility of rotating the premiership in the government he is seeking to establish. He added that "it is natural for the largest party to lead this government."
