- Likud ministers are pressuring Yachad members to reject cooperation with Arab parties, according to Yachad.
- The recent Israeli elections resulted in a complex parliamentary makeup with no clear majority.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu's bloc secured 53 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot's bloc won 48 seats.
- Arab parties hold 19 seats and are considered key to forming the next government.
- The Joint List expressed willingness to support the change bloc to end Netanyahu's tenure.
- Yachad's leader, Gadi Eisenkot, has not finalized his position on cooperating with Arab parties.
The Yachad party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has revealed that Likud ministers are contacting members of its list to pressure them into refusing any cooperation with Arab parties. The goal is to persuade them to split from the Yachad list that ran in the recent elections under Eisenkot's leadership. This disclosure follows the Israeli election results, which created a complex parliamentary landscape. The Likud party secured 27 seats, while Yachad obtained 21. The remaining seats were distributed among other parties, with neither of the two main blocs achieving a majority sufficient to form a government. According to the final results, the bloc supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu garnered 53 seats, while the change bloc, led by Eisenkot, won 48 seats. Arab parties, the Joint List and the United Arab List, collectively secured 19 seats, with the Joint List taking 11 and the United Arab List taking 8. Forming a government requires the support of at least 61 out of 120 Knesset members, making the backing of Arab parties a crucial factor in the calculations for the next government, whether through coalition participation or external parliamentary support. In this context, Israeli reports had previously indicated that Likud had formed a special team to entice members of Eisenkot's list to switch to Netanyahu's bloc. This team was reportedly studying their political backgrounds, past stances, and connections, focusing on disagreements over security and political issues and the potential reliance on Arab parties. These moves coincide with the Joint List's declaration of readiness to cooperate with the change bloc to end Netanyahu's rule, even from outside a government coalition. Eisenkot has not yet clarified his position on potential cooperation with Arab parties, amid internal disagreements within his bloc on the matter. The Yachad party stated that it has not found independent verification for the details of the recent contacts it announced, so this aspect is attributed to the party. Background information on election results and previous Likud moves is based on published reports.
