Israel's caretaker prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed calls Saturday for a national unity government with his political opponent Gadi Eisenkot, according to Al-Monitor. Eisenkot dismissed the appeal, characterizing Netanyahu's proposal as a strategic maneuver rather than a genuine offer.
The exchange reflects the deep political divide between the two leaders ahead of potential coalition negotiations. Netanyahu has made several appeals for unity governance, while Eisenkot has repeatedly rebuffed these attempts as tactical moves.
