The "Yashar" party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, canceled scheduled negotiations with the Likud party on Wednesday, November 11, following a divisive speech by interim Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. The speech was delivered Tuesday evening, November 10, during the opening ceremony of the 26th Knesset, Israel's parliament.
The canceled meeting was intended to be part of Eisenkot's stated initiative to engage in dialogue with all Knesset parties. According to The Times of Israel, "Yashar" issued a statement emphasizing that unity is a crucial value for Israel and that the solidarity of Israelis is integral to national security. The party affirmed its commitment to acting in the nation's best interests.
The "Yashar" party stated that Eisenkot ordered the cancellation of the talks with Likud representatives "in light of the divisive speech delivered by the outgoing Prime Minister, the desecration of the swearing-in ceremony of Knesset members, and with it, what remains of the state approach under Netanyahu's rule."
"Yashar" linked Netanyahu's calls for a national unity government under his leadership to his actions, asserting that "Netanyahu does not want unity. As always, when the seriousness of the moment and the resilience of Israeli society are on one side, and his political survival is on the other, Netanyahu always chooses himself. Whatever the price."
