The Haredim toy with the idea of a government with Eisenkot: "Cash crumbs instead of a fat challah on credit"

Haredi sources are examining the possibility of joining Gadi Eisenkot in exchange for immediate gains in conscription and budgets, even if the government lasts only a few months. Likud is wary of criticism, and the opposition fears a pressure tactic.

Haredi sources are examining the possibility of joining Gadi Eisenkot and supporting a government under his leadership, even if it exists only for a short period. According to internal conversations in the Haredi parties, the move aims to achieve immediate gains in conscription and budgets, rather than waiting for a long-term right-wing government. The idea gained strength following the shift in Avigdor Lieberman's direction, who no longer rules out Haredi partnership. In conversations with Likud officials, it was said: "It may be that we should go now with Eisenkot. We'll get cash crumbs instead of waiting for a fat challah on credit." Likud refrains from public criticism of the Haredim, but the opposition fears this is a pressure tactic against Netanyahu. There are no official contacts between the sides.
