In the European Union, they mark a surprising government composition after the elections: "An opportunity for stability"
The European Union is closely monitoring the elections in Israel and identifying Gadi Eisenkot as the next prime minister. European diplomats are working to promote the inclusion of Haredi parties in a coalition led by him, based on the view that a stable government will only be possible with reliance on the Haredim, not on Arab parties. European embassies are mobilizing resources to monitor Haredi politics.
The European Union is closely monitoring the Israeli election campaign and identifying Gadi Eisenkot as the key figure for forming the next government. European diplomats are working to promote the inclusion of Haredi parties in a coalition led by him, based on the view that a stable government that will last over time will only be possible with reliance on the Haredi parties, not on Arab parties like Ra'am. Embassies of EU countries in Israel are mobilizing resources and deploying analysts to monitor internal politics in the Haredi sector, including internal conflicts in the Degel HaTorah and Agudat Yisrael parties, expected voter turnout, and the influence of rabbis. A senior EU diplomat said that Eisenkot is careful not to close the door on the Haredim, and that unofficial dialogue is taking place under the radar between the sides. The European interest and Eisenkot's political interest converge on the point of keeping the door open to the Haredi sector to create governmental stability in the day after Netanyahu.
