Israel Eisenkot between the pressure of the allies and the maneuvering of a minority government.
Israeli analysts:
- Mati Tuchfeld: Eisenkot will do his best to form a government in any possible format, knowing that this is his only chance to be prime minister.
- Moran Azoulay: Eisenkot aims for a minority government to gain the confidence of the parliament without coalition negotiations and without receiving explicit approval from all its partners.
- Michael Hauser Tov: Eisenkot can present a government that supports 56 representatives in the Knesset if Lieberman agrees to a scenario that includes support for the United Arab List.
