Dr. Eitan Lesri, an expert in government and public policy, argues that Israel needs genuine unity, not a government of boycotts. He criticizes the opposition's calls for unity, which he claims make the boycott of Netanyahu and the right a first condition for forming a government, while relying on the support of the Arab factions. Lesri notes that Netanyahu has previously offered broad governments, such as the rotation government with Gantz in 2020, and that he is now extending a hand. Conversely, he argues that the opposition, led by Eisenkot, must demonstrate a genuine willingness for dialogue and compromise, and not condition partnership on ousting Netanyahu. The article highlights the security threats from Iran and the need for a stable and united government, and calls on both leaders to rise above sectoral interests.
