  • News 12 commentator Amit Segal revealed details of Netanyahu's efforts.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively working to prevent Gadi Eisenkot from forming a government, according to a report by News 12 commentator Amit Segal. Segal claims that within the Likud party, there is a belief that they have succeeded in preventing the Haredi parties from joining the "change bloc" that would form a government without Netanyahu.

Segal reported that a late-night meeting took place at the Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday between Netanyahu and Ben Yaakov, a former minister representing United Torah Judaism. While it is unclear if this meeting directly influenced recent developments, a Likud assessment emerged Wednesday morning suggesting that these efforts have borne fruit.

Sources within Likud, as cited by Segal, indicated that they convinced the Haredi parties not to commit to supporting a new government based on future promises. Instead, they were urged to demand concrete concessions, specifically regarding the conscription law, before casting their votes for a government formation. This strategy aims to secure the Haredi parties' immediate demands rather than relying on coalition negotiation outcomes.
