Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed his call for a national unity government following his meeting with Gadi Eisenkot, and warned that Iran is trying to rebuild its nuclear weapons program.
Netanyahu claimed that only a broad unity government would be able to deal effectively with the Iranian threat, and warned that a narrow coalition would not be able to meet Israel's security challenges.
He directly urged Eisenkot to enter coalition negotiations without preconditions, put aside political differences and work together to establish a unity government.
