What's behind this
Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, is moving closer to becoming Israel’s next prime minister after securing the backing of both major Arab political parties – the Joint List and the Arab‑led Ra’am – giving him the support of 67 lawmakers in the 120‑member Knesset. The endorsement is described as a fresh blow to Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government has lost the support of an allied religious party and now faces a possible ouster. Analysts note that the partnership could be politically fraught for the Joint List, as it would back a government unlikely to end Israel’s wars or curb settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
