Lieberman Rules Out Coalition With Netanyahu or Arab Parties

Lieberman expanded his exclusions to rule out sitting with United Torah Judaism's Yitzhak Goldknopf, Shas leader Aryeh Deri, and Yassir Hujirat, according to Jüdische Allgemeine. He stated that his party would only join a coalition comprised solely of Zionist parties, aiming for a "Zionist unity government" that excludes Netanyahu. To achieve this, Lieberman called for a rebellion within the Likud party to depose Netanyahu, as reported by Jüdische Allgemeine.

As prerequisites for joining any future coalition, Lieberman demanded that the next government's first actions must be the establishment of a state inquiry commission and the passage of a universal draft law. In a separate development, Major General (res.) Gadi Eisenkot met with Shin Bet Director David Zini to discuss alleged foreign interference in the Israeli elections, according to Kikar HaShabbat.
