Netanyahu may remain Israel's prime minister even if Gadi Eisenkot wins Tuesday's election, with polls showing none of the blocs will secure a parliamentary majority.
Netanyahu is pushing for a unity government with Eisenkot, potentially sharing the premiership through a rotation agreement, an idea discussed by Trump allies.
Eisenkot publicly rejected such a deal, but Netanyahu privately suggested abandoning his far-right coalition partners.
If the negotiations fail, Netanyahu could remain interim prime minister until further elections.
