Avigdor Lieberman opposes the Arab parties joining a government led by Gadi Eisenkot, and says he can win over the Haredi parties. This puts Eisenkot in a bind between his pledges on military conscription and the Haredim’s demands. His coalition needs 61 lawmakers. A total of 67 lawmakers recommended that he be tasked with forming a government, including 19 from the Arab parties, while his bloc won only 48 seats in the election. This makes forming a government difficult and risks giving Benjamin Netanyahu a chance to remain in power or return to it. Eisenkot has 28 days, with the possibility of a two-week extension, while Lieberman has strengthened his influence by becoming chair of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, a position approved by a vote of 13 to 9.
