Political commentator Daphna Liel reports that Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yesh!' party, and Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, have reached an agreement on the identity of the designated Knesset speaker. The specific candidate has not yet been officially revealed, as the two leaders are reportedly waiting to coordinate with other parties in the "change bloc" before making a public announcement in the Knesset.

This agreement was forged during a meeting described by both leaders as "substantive and good." During the discussion, they expressed confidence in their ability to form a stable government for the next four years. The consensus on the Knesset speaker nominee marks a first practical step toward establishing the parliamentary mechanisms for the emerging coalition.
