Gadi Eisenkot's negotiation team is scheduled to meet with Likud representatives on Sunday to explore the possibility of forming a unity government. However, despite the meeting, both sides anticipate it will be more of a public relations move than a genuine breakthrough.
Sources indicate Eisenkot's team plans to present an initial proposal for a four-year unity government where Likud would join a government led by Eisenkot, excluding other right-wing parties. This proposal does not include a rotation of the prime minister position or a division of the term. The starting point for negotiations, from Eisenkot's perspective, is Likud's acknowledgment of the election results and agreement to join his government.
This initial offer is widely considered to have little practical significance in negotiations. The prevailing assessment in the political arena is that Eisenkot and his associates will first exhaust efforts to form a government with the Haredi parties, supported by Arab parties. Only if these attempts reach an impasse is the negotiation with Likud expected to become a more serious option.
