Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said only a unity government can guarantee Israel's security, according to Al Jazeera English. The appeal comes as Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming a government, dismissed Netanyahu's statement as "tricks" ahead of ongoing coalition talks and a Knesset speaker vote.
Eisenkot's rejection signals continued friction within Israeli political negotiations over the composition of the next administration.
