Coalition talks: Bennett and Eisenkot push for unity government

Former PM Bennett and Eisenkot are working to form an emergency government, while reports suggest Netanyahu is concerned about Eisenkot's prospects.

Naftali Bennett has stated he is doing everything possible to help Gadi Eisenkot establish a "government of repair," while Eisenkot himself declared his commitment to forming a national emergency government as soon as possible. This was reported today (Monday) by Maariv. These developments occur against the backdrop of ongoing government formation efforts.

Simultaneously, the Jerusalem Post reported that a former aide to Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the Prime Minister is in a state of "panic" over the possibility of Eisenkot becoming Prime Minister. According to the source, this pressure could make Netanyahu more willing to reach political compromises. Further details regarding the progress of the negotiations have not yet been released.
