Israel’s opposition leaders have joined forces behind former military chief Gadi Eisenkot to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. At a meeting in Herzliya on November 3, five opposition leaders agreed to recommend Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog to form the next government. The alliance includes Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Yair Golan and Avigdor Liberman. They also pledged to begin coalition negotiations and work towards forming a national emergency government. However, the opposition remains divided over cooperation with Arab-led parties, whose 19 seats could prove crucial. Netanyahu’s bloc holds 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset. (PC: X)
