Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yesh!' party and holder of the mandate to form a government, is reportedly abandoning plans to swiftly swear in a minority government. According to political correspondent Anna Barsky of the Maariv website, sources within the "change bloc" believe such a scenario currently lacks genuine political feasibility and sufficient support, even within the bloc's own factions. Therefore, Eisenkot is not pursuing this path.
Concurrently, Eisenkot's negotiation team is signaling some progress in talks with Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties, aiming to broaden the emerging coalition. However, these signals have not been independently verified on the ground, and Haredi sources involved in the behind-the-scenes discussions have not confirmed any breakthrough in negotiations.
