The Gazan journalist proposes: Eisenkot as prime minister, Tibi as Knesset speaker

In an interview with Iddo Tauber, Gazan journalist Sami Obeid claimed that most residents of the Strip expect the establishment of a government led by Gadi Eisenkot that would end Hamas rule and rehabilitate Gaza. He further called on the Arab parties to demand five portfolios in the government and proposed appointing Ahmad Tibi as Knesset speaker.

In an interview with Iddo Tauber on 'Yoman Tsohorayim', Gazan journalist Sami Obeid claimed that most residents of the Gaza Strip expect the establishment of a new government in Israel led by Gadi Eisenkot, which would bring an end to Hamas rule and rehabilitate the Strip. Obeid described the dire situation in the Strip after the recent rainy days, claiming that 80% of Gaza's residents live in tents. According to him, the residents are waiting for the establishment of a technocratic government to replace Hamas, but the Netanyahu government is preventing its formation. Obeid expressed confidence that Eisenkot would succeed in forming a government, and claimed that 90% of Gaza's residents want what Eisenkot promises – rehabilitation of the Strip, departure from it, and disarmament of Hamas. Later, Obeid called on the Arab parties to demand five portfolios in the government and proposed appointing Ahmad Tibi as Knesset speaker. Toward the end of the interview, a confrontation developed between Obeid and Tauber, after the Gazan journalist claimed that Jews were received with love in Arab countries and were not persecuted there for thousands of years – a claim that Tauber sharply rejected.
