In his column in Maariv, Ben Caspit argues that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has 'gone off the rails' and that Gadi Eisenkot must urgently act to form an alternative government. Caspit criticizes Netanyahu for claiming he called for a unity government during the election campaign, while according to Caspit, he rejected it all along. The author accuses Netanyahu of turning a fifth of Israel's citizens into 'enemies of Israel' and warns against the misuse of the Shin Bet and police to rig elections. Caspit contrasts Eisenkot's plan to form a government with external support from Arab parties with Lieberman's plan to negotiate with the Haredim, emphasizing that Eisenkot's plan is immediately implementable. The author quotes a source close to Eisenkot warning that Netanyahu should not be left in any position of influence. He also notes that Eisenkot's people are in contact with figures close to President Trump, who conveyed a similar message about the need to replace Netanyahu quickly.
