Joint List to Recommend Eisenkot; Plans to Seize Knesset Control

Against the backdrop of the final consultation round at the President's residence, the Joint List has joined those recommending Gadi Eisenkot to form the government.

The Joint List party has announced its unanimous decision to recommend Gadi Eisenkot as the candidate to form the government, according to reports by Reshet 13 and Srugim. With this addition, the total number of recommendations for Eisenkot has risen to 67, while incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has 46. Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi noted that the recommendation was not made out of affection for the candidate.
