Without 61 seats: Netanyahu may give up Ben Gvir to stay in power

According to a report in Maariv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may give up Minister Itamar Ben Gvir in exchange for a unity government, aiming to secure his continued tenure as prime minister even without 61 seats. The article, by Mati Tuchfeld, cites a 'source familiar with the details' who says Netanyahu believes he can win the election, but the key lies in maximizing votes within his bloc. The current campaign targets right-wing voters considering supporting small parties, trying to convince them to vote for Likud, Religious Zionism, or Otzma Yehudit. However, the assessment is that the possibility of Gadi Eisenkot joining the government seems unlikely at this stage. The article does not include a response from Ben Gvir or his party.
