The law that brought down the change government in 2022 may also send Eisenkot home: "No chance" | Mati Tuchfeld

Mati Tuchfeld analyzes Gadi Eisenkot's dilemma after the elections: joining Netanyahu could undermine his voters' trust, but a government with the support of the Arab parties carries political risks. The author argues that the law that brought down the change government in 2022 may also send Eisenkot home, and notes personal animosity between Bennett and Lieberman as a major obstacle.

Mati Tuchfeld analyzes in his column in Maariv the political deadlock after the 2026 elections. Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, faces a dilemma: joining Benjamin Netanyahu and risking his voters' trust, or forming a government with the support of the Arab parties, a step that could lead to instability. Tuchfeld argues that the law that brought down the change government in 2022 may also send Eisenkot home. He notes that the personal animosity between Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman is a major obstacle, and that a government with Arab support would be subject to extortion over the renewal of Judea and Samaria regulations. The article quotes Eisenkot saying 'no chance' without providing the full context.
