Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar) is conducting negotiations on three channels: with ultra-Orthodox parties, Arab lists, and Likud. A meeting of the Likud and Yashar negotiating teams is expected on November 15. Eisenkot is not ready to discuss rotation, Netanyahu demands guarantees of being elected president. The change bloc is also preparing to replace the Knesset speaker.

Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, is conducting negotiations on three parallel tracks: with ultra-Orthodox parties, with Arab lists, and with Likud. The Likud and Yashar negotiating teams are expected to meet on Sunday, November 15, to discuss a broad government that includes Religious Zionism. Eisenkot has refused to negotiate with Otzma Yehudit. Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed a personal meeting, but it is not planned. Eisenkot is not ready to discuss rotation, while Netanyahu demands guarantees of being elected president in 2028. Sources in the change bloc are pessimistic: a compromise on the conscription law is far from the ultra-Orthodox demands. In parallel, the change bloc is preparing to replace the Knesset speaker and committee chairs.
