First publication: The Joint List considers recommending Eisenkot, but "it won't be for free" | Nadav Eyal

The Joint List is considering recommending Gadi Eisenkot for the presidency of Israel, but clarifies that the recommendation will not come for free. Among the demands: parliamentary and budgetary demands, and a demand that Eisenkot not task Naftali Bennett or Avigdor Lieberman with forming the government, as Yair Lapid did in the past. This is despite Eisenkot's decision to support the disqualification of Sami Abu Shahada.

The Joint List is considering recommending Gadi Eisenkot for the presidency of Israel, as reported this evening by Nadav Eyal in the main edition of i24NEWS. Sources in the List clarify that the recommendation will not come for free, and that parliamentary and budgetary demands are expected. Another interesting demand is that Eisenkot not task Naftali Bennett or Avigdor Lieberman with forming the government, as Yair Lapid did in the past when he chose to transfer the mandate. These developments come despite Eisenkot's decision to support the disqualification of the Joint List from running in the elections, a decision in which the High Court of Justice is expected to intervene.
