‘These tricks don’t work on me’: Eisenkot rejects Netanyahu’s 'unity govt' appeal

Caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his call for a national unity government. Gadi Eisenkot, his political rival, dismissed Netanyahu's appeal, viewing it as a strategy to create division. Eisenkot is currently negotiating to form his government, with a deadline of 28 days. Discussions are strained over the Knesset speaker election, with both sides presenting opposing candidates. Netanyahu's coalition proposal excludes Arab parties, complicating the negotiations ahead.
