"Netanyahu is very stressed, you can see it": The move that gave away his political state

Maariv's Knesset correspondent Nahum Peri assessed in an interview with 104.5FM that a unity/rotation government or new elections are the main options going forward, against the backdrop of negotiations to form a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot. According to him, the gaps between the parties remain large, mainly around the conscription law and religion and state issues.

Maariv's Knesset correspondent Nahum Peri was interviewed on 104.5FM and assessed that negotiations to form a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot are progressing with large gaps. According to him, a unity/rotation government or new elections are the two main options. Peri noted that the gaps stem from issues such as the conscription law and religion and state policy, which separate the Democrats party from Shas and United Torah Judaism. He added that Lieberman is willing to temporarily waive the conscription law but refuses to enter a government with the Arab parties. Referring to Netanyahu's political situation, Peri assessed that the change bloc's negotiations currently serve him, but even in new elections he would not reach 61 seats.
