Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his call for Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yash Party and tasked with forming a new government, to establish a unity government. Netanyahu also resumed his criticism of Arab parties.
In a video statement on Saturday evening, Netanyahu addressed Eisenkot, urging him to "enter a room without preconditions, put aside all disagreements and boycotts, and reach understandings for the sake of Israel's security and future." He suggested that a unity government could address national security challenges and resolve issues like conscription, which he believes can be solved collaboratively with representatives of the Haredi public.
Netanyahu asserted that the "necessary response" to those who intentionally walked out during the "Hatikva" anthem, referring to Arab lawmakers, is the formation of a national unity government. He also highlighted the Iranian regime's pursuit of nuclear weapons, warning that it would not hesitate to use them against Israel if it achieved the capability to enrich uranium and develop nuclear arms.
He recalled a security briefing with Eisenkot on Thursday, describing it as an "important conversation." Netanyahu stated that the meeting reinforced his understanding of the necessity for a national unity government comprising all parties that support Israel's existence as a state for the Jewish people, capable of confronting the significant security challenges facing the nation.
