What's behind this
Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot 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 party, giving him the support of 67 lawmakers in the 120‑member parliament. This Arab endorsement has boosted Eisenkot’s prospects and could complicate Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to retain power. Analysts note that such a partnership may be politically fraught, as the Joint List would be supporting a government unlikely to end Israel’s wars or curb settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
