Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, told Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Tzionut Datit party, during a meeting on Monday that Eisenkot would be the next prime minister. Lieberman requested time to work on and prepare for coalition negotiations, as part of efforts to form a new government after Eisenkot was tasked with the role by Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog. Channel 13 reported Lieberman telling Eisenkot, "You will be prime minister, I am not asking for this position for myself." He added, "I ask that you give me time to work, there are no shortcuts. I am committed to replacing Netanyahu, and you must prepare your party and the bloc for the compromises that will be required."
The two agreed to exhaust negotiations with the Haredi parties before exploring the possibility of forming a minority government. Eisenkot asked Lieberman for assistance in talks with the Haredi parties, delaying discussions on a minority government supported by Arab parties until after those negotiations conclude.
Negotiations have begun between Eisenkot and the United Torah Judaism party, with attorney Ronen Aviani handling communications for Tzionut Datit and meeting with Knesset Member Yaakov Asher. This follows approval from Rabbis Moshe Hirsch and Dov Lando to start talks, amidst pressure from outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for them to engage.
Regarding the Knesset speakership, Channel 13 reported that Naftali Bennett, leader of the Bayit Yehudi party, informed Eisenkot that he would leave the choice of the permanent Knesset speaker to him, after days of negotiations on the matter. United Torah Judaism had previously rejected Tzionut Datit's proposal to change the Knesset speaker during the opening session, arguing it should coincide with government formation.
Lieberman also announced his opposition to canceling judicial overhaul laws through the next Knesset, stating that priorities should be replacing the Knesset speaker, determining the prime minister's term, and electing a state comptroller, with other issues postponed.
These developments follow reports of secret understandings and contacts between Lieberman and leaders of United Torah Judaism, aimed at paving the way for Haredi parties to join the "change bloc" in exchange for concessions on key issues.
