Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yachad party, pledged to form a national emergency government as soon as possible, citing complex realities and urgent challenges. He stressed the need for this move to be correct and principled. Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List, stated his party will continue working to replace the current government and hopes to be part of the next coalition. Abbas considers Arab society's participation in governance a fundamental civil right that can contribute to solutions and promote economic, social, and scientific growth in Israel. Avigdor Lieberman, head of Yisrael Beiteinu, believes the next government will need to reach a compromise on the conscription law that can withstand Supreme Court scrutiny, unlike his campaign's stricter proposals. Lieberman denied reports of seeking the premiership, confirming he recommended Eisenkot to form the government and stands with him, adding he is not seeking a rotation in the prime minister's office or changing this stance.
