A message to Lieberman? Instead of the 'Indictment Law' - Bennett and Eisenkot's move for the day after
Bennett and Eisenkot publicly cast doubt on the possibility of passing the 'Indictment Law', in a timed message to Lieberman ahead of the day after the elections. The two clarify that if the bloc does not secure 61 seats, there will be no choice but a minority government supported by Ra'am. Meanwhile, an alternative scenario emerges: a retroactive term limit law.
Party leaders Naftali Bennett and Gadi Eisenkot publicly cast doubt on the possibility of passing the 'Indictment Law', effectively thwarting the central plan of their senior coalition partner, Avigdor Lieberman. The timed move by the two was intended to send a clear message to Lieberman ahead of the day after the elections: if the bloc does not secure 61 seats, there will be no choice but to form a minority government relying on the support of the Ra'am party. Until now, Lieberman has firmly rejected any possibility of forming a government with the support of Arab Knesset members, presenting two alternatives: a Zionist majority or a personal law against Netanyahu. Alongside this, an alternative scenario emerges: a retroactive term limit law that would remove Netanyahu from the political game but keep Bennett in the race. The rivalry over these scenarios deepens the cracks in the bloc.
