Point of no return: On Israel’s next government

What's behind this

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly called for a unity government, saying it is a necessity and the need of the hour. He urged opposition leaders, including Gadi Eisenkot, to join a coalition of Zionist and ultra‑Orthodox parties, and signaled willingness to work with Eisenkot after the latter received a mandate to form a coalition. Netanyahu framed the unity government as essential to prevent chaos in Israel, warning that without peace the country could descend into disorder. He also dismissed calls for boycotts, emphasizing the importance of national unity.
