Israel Unity Eyes Trump
Isaac Herzog is seeking to bring Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot into a unity government, but overcoming their differences appears difficult without intervention from US President Donald Trump, who could help bring their positions closer. The article argues that such a government could strengthen Israel’s stability and facilitate arrangements concerning Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, as well as a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu, however, may prefer a transitional government that would let him continue military operations and conclude agreements without making major concessions, such as establishing an official commission of inquiry or passing a conscription law. The results showed Netanyahu’s bloc falling to 53 seats and Likud to 27, compared with 55 and 31 seats, respectively, in the September 2019 election, although the mood in the party seemed more relieved because expectations had been lower.
