איזנקוט תקוע בין שני שעונים: למיצוי המגעים הקואליציוניים, ולסיכול חרחורי המלחמה של נתניהו

Gadi Eisenkot, Chairman of the National Unity Party, aims to swear in his government by next Wednesday or the following Monday at the latest. This government would be formed by the 48 Knesset members of the "Change Bloc" and 8 from Ra'am, totaling 56 seats, with the Joint List abstaining or absent, against 53. Eisenkot believes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers would be removed from their offices, with portfolios for Housing and Interior reserved for United Torah Judaism, and potentially something left for Shas. Negotiations with the ultra-Orthodox parties would continue, and the government would then begin its work. Eisenkot's proposed agenda includes establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th events, removing David Zini from his position as head of the Shin Bet, canceling the "revolution laws," beginning discussions on the state budget for 2027-2028, addressing Jewish terror militias in the West Bank, purging government offices, and repairing Israel's foreign relations. He anticipates that the ultra-Orthodox parties would eventually join the government once they accept the new reality.
