Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, told Gadi Eisenkot during a meeting that he does not seek the premiership himself but believes Eisenkot will eventually hold the position. Lieberman emphasized that reaching this goal would require time and compromises, particularly with the Haredi parties. "You will be prime minister. I am not asking for this role for myself. I ask that you give me time to work. There are no shortcuts. I am committed to replacing Netanyahu. You need to prepare your party and the bloc for the compromises that will be necessary," Lieberman stated, according to Channel 13. The two agreed to first attempt to reach understandings with the Haredi parties before exploring other options, such as forming a minority government supported by Arab parties. Eisenkot requested Lieberman's assistance in negotiations with the Haredi factions.
Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported on the demands being made by the Haredi parties in exchange for their support of a "change government." These demands include a temporary order halting the general conscription obligation for Haredim and a freeze on arrests of draft dodgers for the duration of that period. They also seek to avoid sanctions during a transition period and require approval from the Attorney General and the legal advisor of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee for any arrangement.
