Benjamin Netanyahu Calls for Unity Government in Israel to Counter Gadi Eisenkot’s Coalition Bid
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has initiated efforts to form a broad national unity government, signaling a major political counter-move in Jerusalem. In a video address, Netanyahu urged Zionist and Haredi parties to unite under his Likud party—which emerged as the single largest faction with 27 seats—to address pressing national challenges.
This development follows President Isaac Herzog formally tasking Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot with building the next government. Eisenkot currently holds backing from 67 lawmakers in the 120-member Knesset, compared to Netanyahu’s 46 supporters.
Earlier, Eisenkot expressed openness to including Likud in his coalition on the condition that he remains Prime Minister. With a 28-day window underway to finalize alliances, intense negotiations are reshaping Israel’s political landscape.
