Liberman to Recommend Eisenkot: 'Will Not Sit with Netanyahu'

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman announced he will recommend Yashar! leader Gadi Eisenkot to the president to form the next government, and will support Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid for Knesset Speaker, newspaper Haaretz and i24NEWS reported.

Alongside the endorsement, Liberman sharply criticized the opposition's conduct during the campaign. According to Haaretz, he asserted that the bloc suffered a "stinging defeat" and placed the blame on Eisenkot, accusing him of running an egoistic campaign. At the same time, Liberman reiterated that under no circumstances would he sit in a government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu.
