The Israel we could build: What the next gov't should do in its first 100 days - opinion

Gershon Baskin's opinion piece proposes a detailed 100-day governing agenda for a potential Israeli coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, covering restoration of democracy, rule of law, ending Jewish extremist violence, rebuilding security, Gaza policy, equality for Arab citizens, cost of living, and healthcare, education, and welfare.

Gershon Baskin's opinion piece argues that Israel has a rare opportunity to replace not only Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but the political culture that brought the country to its current state. He proposes a detailed 100-day governing agenda for a potential coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, bringing together Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Yair Golan, Avigdor Liberman, and Mansour Abbas, with the Joint List providing parliamentary support. The plan includes restoring democratic institutions and judicial independence within 14 days, ending political interference in security bodies, dismantling Jewish extremist networks and unauthorized settlement outposts within 30 days, rebuilding national security doctrine within 60 days, adopting a Gaza policy based on the Trump plan, implementing a comprehensive equality program for Arab citizens, reducing the cost of living, and repairing healthcare, education, and welfare within 100 days. Baskin emphasizes that the coalition must be built around a binding program with clear deadlines and public accountability, not vague promises.
