Forming a government with the Arabs? Not realistic - but there is still something to do | Ben Caspit

Ben Caspit asserts that forming a government with Arab MKs is unrealistic due to security tensions, but proposes legislation such as a direct election law. He reveals meetings between Eisenkot and Bennett about a merger that did not materialize, and accuses Netanyahu of trying to cancel elections due to loss of power.

In his column, Ben Caspit analyzes the political situation after the elections. He states that forming a government with the active participation of Arab MKs is unrealistic due to security tensions and the rift in society, but action can still be taken through legislation, such as a direct election law. Caspit reveals details of meetings between Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett, where the possibility of a joint list was discussed, but Eisenkot refused. He claims that Netanyahu is trying to cancel the elections because the Change Bloc garnered about a quarter of a million more votes than last time, while the Netanyahu Bloc lost 72,000 votes. Caspit calls for the establishment of a unity government of all mainstream Zionist forces, without extremists and Haredim, to save the country.
