Gadi Eisenkot, who is in charge of forming the Israeli government, cancels a negotiation meeting with the Likud party that was planned for Wednesday, following Benjamin Netanyahu's attack on the Arab parties.
The Ishar party led by Eisenkot accuses Netanyahu of fomenting division and prioritizing his political interests over the unity of Israel.
Netanyahu claimed before the Knesset that the Joint List and the United Arab List seek to "destroy Israel", while the Likud confirmed its willingness to negotiate with any bloc seeking unity.
