Opposition agrees to form Government under Eisenkot's conditions

Israeli opposition leaders met to strategize forming a government, emphasizing the need for a coalition based on principles set by Gadi Eisenkot. These principles include recognizing Israel as a Jewish state and acknowledging Hamas as a terrorist organization. The opposition aims to propose Eisenkot as the candidate for government formation to President Isaac Herzog. Despite holding 48 parliamentary seats, the opposition faces challenges in securing a majority, particularly regarding potential alliances with Arab parties. The meeting occurred amid calls from families of hostages taken by Hamas for political unity and accountability.
