Eisenkot wants to form a government "as quickly as possible," Netanyahu advocates for a national unity executive

Former Israeli general Gadi Eisenkot aims to quickly establish a new government to replace Benjamin Netanyahu's administration. Eisenkot committed to forming a national emergency government upon arriving at the Knesset, where newly elected members were sworn in. His party, Yashar, has reached an agreement to appoint Matan Kahana as the next Knesset president. Netanyahu, in his speech, reiterated the need for a national unity government, criticizing Arab parties for allegedly seeking Israel's destruction. He accused the opposition of considering alliances with these parties. Eisenkot condemned Netanyahu's speech as hateful and divisive, asserting that it reinforced his belief that Netanyahu is unfit for leadership. Eisenkot emphasized the urgency of forming a national emergency government to unify Israel and ensure its security.
