On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was open to forming a unity government with Gadi Eisenkot, describing such a coalition as an “absolute necessity” and the “need of the hour” amid the country’s major challenges. He urged opposition leaders, including Zionist and ultra‑Orthodox parties, to join a government under his leadership. The call came after Eisenkot received a mandate to form a coalition and indicated willingness to include Netanyahu and a far‑right ally in the new cabinet.
