Netanyahu insists on leading any unity government first. the country
According to reports, Benjamin Netanyahu is not ready to give up his inaugural term as prime minister in any potential power-sharing arrangement, according to Haaretz, citing a source close to the Israeli leader.
According to the proposed rotation agreement, Netanyahu's main demand will be to remain in office in the first phase, after which another political leader will take over.
The source stated that Netanyahu would rather return Israel to the polls than accept an arrangement that would require him to give up the prime ministership at the outset.
On the other hand, a deal that guarantees Netanyahu the first turn will reportedly be enough to secure his approval.
