Contrary to Likud's position: the senior official admits - "I will propose a rotation with Gadi Eisenkot"
Minister Miki Zohar said in an interview to the Knesset Channel that if Gadi Eisenkot leads in the number of mandates and the size of the bloc, he will propose a rotation with Netanyahu, who will serve first. These statements contradict the skepticism expressed by Likud sources regarding a unity government.
Minister Miki Zohar made a dramatic statement in an interview to the Knesset Channel, contrary to the official position of Likud. Zohar said that if Gadi Eisenkot leads in the number of mandates and the size of the bloc, he will propose a rotation with Netanyahu, but Netanyahu will serve first. Zohar explained that Netanyahu is the only one who can complete the mission in the Middle East. These remarks come against the backdrop of previous reports in 'Maariv' about the possibility of a unity government, and contrary to the skepticism expressed by Likud sources the day before. Likud sources discussed options such as promoting Netanyahu to the presidency as part of a rotation agreement. However, sources in Likud and the change bloc deny any practical contacts to establish a unity government. The President's House issued a firm denial of any talks on the matter.
