- Avigdor Lieberman declared he would not cooperate with Ahmed Tibi or Eisenkot's bloc.

Political commentator Anna Breski stated on Thursday that following Avigdor Lieberman's declaration that he would not cooperate with Ahmed Tibi, Gadi Eisenkot is left with a significantly weakened position. Breski explained that Lieberman's announcement, which precludes any partnership with Eisenkot and the "change bloc" in forming either a minority government supported by Arab parties or a unity government with Likud, leaves Eisenkot with only 41 mandates. This number is insufficient for establishing a minority government, even before considering its operational feasibility.
According to Breski, Eisenkot's sole remaining option is to seek support from the Haredi parties. She suggested that if Eisenkot offers them a "generous" conscription law, it remains to be seen whether they would agree to provide the necessary parliamentary support. If they do, Breski noted, the "change bloc," which she termed the "serving bloc," would need to be exceptionally creative in gaining public acceptance for such a coalition.
The article also references a statement from the "Serugim News" outlet, where the right-wing bloc declared, "Our alliance with Netanyahu is exhausted." It was recalled that throughout the election period, Gadi Eisenkot had consistently stated he would not sit with Arab parties. However, despite serious allegations of election bribery, Eisenkot had previously reiterated his call for the establishment of a minority government.
