Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Gadi Eisenkot on Saturday evening to meet immediately and establish a unity government, stating, "Let's enter a room without preconditions and reach agreements." Eisenkot, however, quickly responded, criticizing Netanyahu's call as a "spin," noting that a meeting between negotiation teams from Yesh Atid and Likud was already scheduled for the following day. Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of calling for negotiations after they were already set, claiming to want unity while allegedly demeaning a state occasion in the Knesset and inciting division.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Eisenkot plans to propose a unity government led by himself for a full four-year term, without any rotation in the prime minister's office. Under this proposal, Netanyahu would be ineligible to serve as a minister due to his ongoing trial.
Supporters of Netanyahu and the Likud party have already begun calling to reject Eisenkot's proposal, urging him not to issue threats and to avoid forming a government with "terror supporters" if he is confident in his ability to do so.
