» Eisenkot Secures 67 of 120 Endorsements After His Yashar Party Backs Him for PM - Israel Elections 2026 - https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/elections/2026-11-05/ty-article/.premium/yashar-recommends-its-leader-gadi-eisenkot-to-form-israels-next-government/000001a1-acc0-d2e9-a5ad-bedae5e90000
TL;DR
our elections forced Yashar’s hand and they had to accept sitting with the Arab parties. they have a supermajority in the Knesset.
@blogdiva I think it's a two step process.
The parties tell the president who they want to try to form a government; then the person they chose has to negotiate with all the parties to try and cobble together a coalition.
It's not clear to me that the Palestinian parties are actually in the coalition yet, or if they'll even be allowed in.
