Attempts to form a new government continue as various parties set conditions and encounter political and legal obstacles. According to Reshet 13 and C14, tensions persist within the opposition, with officials including Gadi Eizenkot setting demands regarding potential partnerships with Haredi parties. Meanwhile, Yair Golan stated that his party seeks a 'change government' but will not issue a 'blank check' to the Haredi factions, suggesting that meetings be held in Ramat Gan.

Simultaneously, legal experts and members of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee have identified a hurdle that could impact coalition-building efforts, according to Srugim and other outlets. Aryeh Deri emphasized that he would not break the right-wing bloc. Further details have not yet been released.
