Eisenkot accuses Netanyahu of obstructing Israeli government formation

Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming the Israeli government, has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to obstruct the establishment of a new administration. Eisenkot described Netanyahu's call for negotiations as nothing more than a political maneuver, accusing him of speaking about unity while simultaneously fueling incitement and division.

Eisenkot stated that he is continuing his efforts to form a national emergency government as soon as possible, stressing that Netanyahu's participation in the upcoming government is conditional on his acceptance of its principles.

Eisenkot added that Netanyahu is aware of his defeat and is trying to impede the formation of the new government. He argued that Netanyahu's talk of unity and his invitation to negotiate do not reflect a genuine desire to reach a political understanding.
