Eisenkot: POWs urgently need a new leader.
Gadi Eisenkot, appointed by the captive president to form the government, says the captives urgently need a new leader.
Mr. Eisenkot said that the "establishment of a national emergency government" requires measures that are "creative and outside the accepted frameworks" and emphasized that "the captives do not have the option of dragging out the process of forming the government or returning to endless rounds of elections."
None of the parties and coalitions won the quorum to form the government in the closed parliamentary elections, and President Yitzhak Herzog, after consulting with the leaders of the parties, appointed Mr. Eisenkot to form the government.
Mr. Eisenkot, who said that Benjamin Netanyahu could be in his government if he supported his leadership, said:
"This is a crucial test of leadership. "Whoever, for personal reasons, not for essential reasons, tries to disrupt the establishment of this government, will be remembered in history as the one who failed to save the captives in an emergency."
Yitzhak Herzog, president of POWs of Israel, warned today, referring to the results of the elections to the American Congress, that the POWs of Israel will face unclear conditions and unexpected developments and will need the establishment of a more stable government than ever.
Previously, the Minister of Defense, Joel Cuts, called for "unity" against the "nuclear threat of Iran" and warned: "Our work with Iran is not finished."
