Israel's political tensions deepened on Tuesday after former army chief Gadi Eisenkot criticised caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for a national unity government. Eisenkot described Netanyahu’s speech at the opening of the newly elected parliament as “delusional, divisive” and “shameful”, accusing him of using a state occasion for political gain. Netanyahu had urged parties to unite against what he called the growing threat from Iran, warning of international pressure over Tehran’s nuclear programme. Eisenkot said Netanyahu was unfit to remain in office and pushed for an emergency government. Neither leader has the 61 seats needed to form a government. (PC: NDTV)
