Netanyahu and Eisenkot Eyed for Rotational Premiership in Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a power-sharing deal for the premiership with Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the National Unity Party. This comes as the newly elected Knesset members are set to be sworn in.

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly examining the possibility of reaching an agreement for a rotational premiership with Gadi Eisenkot, the head of the National Unity Party and his main rival in the Knesset elections. This development was reported by Channel 14 of the Israeli television network.

The announcement coincides with the swearing-in ceremony for the winning members of the recent Knesset elections, which took place today in the Israeli parliament.

Avigdor Lieberman, former defense minister of the Israeli regime, also stated that Gadi Eisenkot is his preferred candidate for the leadership of the new cabinet. He further revealed his efforts to form a government excluding Netanyahu and Arab parties.

Opposition parties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a joint statement on Tuesday that they have reached an agreement to nominate Matan Kahana, a former minister, as the new Knesset Speaker and Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, as the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs and Defense.
