Eisenkot Declares Netanyahu Unfit for Premiership, Halts Likud Talks Amid Coalition Speculation

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Gadi Eisenkot, a principal contender against Benjamin Netanyahu in the recent Knesset elections, has declared that Netanyahu lacks the qualifications to retain his position and stressed the necessity of forming an emergency government.

Eisenkot further asserted that Netanyahu’s continued tenure in power poses a significant risk to Israel’s security.

The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom reported that following Netanyahu’s address at the opening session of the Knesset, Gadi Eisenkot instructed his team to cancel negotiation sessions with the Likud party, which were scheduled for the following day.

Channel 14 of the Israeli television network announced that Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, is exploring the possibility of a rotational premiership agreement with Gadi Eisenkot, the head of the Yesh Atid party and his main rival in the Knesset elections.

According to reports from Israeli media, contacts and consultations aimed at forming a so-called “unity government” are ongoing, with negotiations underway with Eisenkot’s close associates and members of his negotiation team.

Netanyahu appears to view the proposal of a rotational premiership with Eisenkot as the most realistic and executable option, considering the current composition of the Knesset.
