Netanyahu, Eisenkot Engage in Unity Talks Amid Political Maneuvering
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot are engaged in unity talks, with both leaders seeking to avoid blame for blocking a potential broad government. Negotiating teams met Sunday, November 15, 2026, as Netanyahu subtly shifted his unity demands and Eisenkot appointed negotiators, including former Netanyahu aide Yoav Horowitz. The process is seen as both political theater and a genuine effort to navigate complex coalition options amid national security concerns. MK Elisha Medan's "unity tent" has added moral pressure on both sides to find common ground.
