Lieberman Accuses Eisenkot of Personal Ambition in Government Formation Talks

Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, accused Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael Party, of personal ambition in government formation talks. Lieberman claimed Eisenkot's campaign aims to weaken parties within the right bloc and position himself for negotiations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He criticized Eisenkot's conscription plan and stated Yisrael Beiteinu would not join a government reliant on Arab parties. Lieberman believes Eisenkot seeks to form a government with Netanyahu, Goldknopf, and Deri, potentially using a minority government as leverage. He expressed confidence in the right bloc's victory on October 27.
