MK Yuli Edelstein, who left the Likud party in July and is now an independent, signaled openness to supporting opposition MK Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister. Speaking on Galatz's 'Spi Vinir' program, Edelstein said there was a chance his political camp would recommend Eisenkot, conditional on Eisenkot bringing a broad base of support. The remark adds to ongoing coalition speculation as the political landscape shifts following Edelstein's departure from Likud. The offer remains conditional and no formal negotiations have been announced.
