Sources in United Torah Judaism propose forming a minority government headed by Gadi Eisenkot, which would rely on the party's external support. Under the outline, UTJ would remain outside the government but abstain in votes and not vote against the government and legislation. In addition, Eisenkot would have the eight votes of Ra'am at his disposal. A UTJ source told N12: "We will get nothing from Netanyahu. Our alliance with him is exhausted." These comments align with the letter of the Lithuanian leader Rabbi Dov Landau on dismantling the Netanyahu bloc. A significant obstacle is the issue of Haredi conscription, as there is no chance Eisenkot would allow an exemption on the scale UTJ demands. However, some believe that through dialogue, a conscription law that the Haredim could live with could be advanced. Also important is preserving budgets for private education systems. At this stage, contacts are taking place only at low levels.
