Within Israel's Likud party, there are concerns of a political split as Gadi Eisenkot attempts to form a new government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively trying to prevent the creation of an alternative coalition, but sources within his circle admit that maintaining the current political bloc is becoming increasingly difficult, according to Maariv.
Following his receipt of the mandate to form a government, Eisenkot has intensified negotiations with ultra-Orthodox parties. Netanyahu's supporters are urging these parties not to back a new coalition and are also seeking to re-establish cooperation with Avigdor Lieberman, who was previously part of the right-wing political camp. However, Likud sources doubt these efforts will succeed.
Party insiders estimate that if Eisenkot offers "United Torah Judaism" acceptable terms regarding military conscription, it will be challenging for Netanyahu to prevent their joining a new government. Rabbi Dov Lando's stance is seen as a key factor, with some in the Haredi community believing he might support a new government if the religious community's demands are met.
Likud is also worried about the potential inclusion of the Shas party. Political sources suggest its leader, Arie Deri, might cooperate with Eisenkot if "United Torah Judaism" makes the first move. This could potentially give a new coalition the support of 61 Knesset members.
Lieberman poses an additional challenge to Netanyahu. The Yisrael Beiteinu leader is open to ultra-Orthodox parties joining a government but opposes a coalition reliant on Arab parties. He also insists on resolving the issue of Haredi conscription. Lieberman told Maariv that once a government with 61 supporters is formed, he could attract three to four additional parliamentarians from Likud. While the party considers this scenario unlikely, they acknowledge some lawmakers are in contact with Lieberman. Netanyahu's attempts to restore previous cooperation with Lieberman have so far failed, with the Yisrael Beiteinu leader reportedly showing no interest in negotiations with the current prime minister.
Despite potential pathways to a new coalition, Eisenkot faces significant hurdles. His supporters must reconcile differences on military conscription and religion-state issues, as well as overcome disagreements between Lieberman, Naftali Bennett, and Yair Golan. Earlier, it was reported that Donald Trump had compared Eisenkot and Netanyahu, noting similarities in their political views.
