Avigdor Liberman, leader of the hawkish opposition party, has stated he will not join a minority government led by Gadi Eisenkot. Eisenkot is currently attempting to form a coalition following the recent political turmoil. Liberman’s condition for participation is a stable coalition with at least 61 seats in the Knesset, excluding reliance on external support. He asserts his party will remain in opposition if these criteria are not met. This development complicates Eisenkot’s efforts to establish a governing majority. The rejection signals continued political deadlock in Israel as coalition negotiations proceed. This stance potentially hinders the formation of any government in the near future.
