Following the Israeli elections, which resulted in no clear majority for any bloc, former U.S. President Donald Trump may play a significant role in shaping the next government. Trump has a vested interest in Israeli political outcomes due to his administration's initiatives, such as the Abraham Accords and efforts against Iran, which he wishes to continue with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Reports indicate that the Trump administration has previously pushed for a unity government between Likud and the National Unity party, potentially involving Netanyahu stepping down after two years. While Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Herzog and Avigdor Lieberman have denied aspects of these reports, the possibility of U.S. intervention remains a topic of discussion.
The article draws a parallel to the failed 2020 unity government between Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, highlighting the risks of rotation agreements. However, it suggests that U.S. guarantees, potentially brokered by Trump, could provide a stronger foundation for such an agreement, making it more difficult for parties to break it.
Despite the potential for external pressure to stabilize Israeli politics, which has seen six elections in under eight years, the author questions the impact on Israeli sovereignty. The article also notes that Trump's ability to influence Israeli politics may depend on his own political standing following the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
Initial election results show the Likud as the largest party, with Netanyahu's bloc slightly ahead of Gadi Eisenkot's National Unity bloc. Arab parties achieved a historic high of nearly 18 mandates. The final results are pending the count of double-enveloped ballots.
