MK Gadi Eisenkot stated on Kan 11 news that the leader of the largest party should be prime minister, weighing in on the debate over coalition formation amid political uncertainty.
MK Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff and current member of the National Unity party, said on Kan 11's Sunday evening newscast that the leader of the largest party should be prime minister. The statement adds to the ongoing political debate over who will lead the next government.
Eisenkot's comment comes amid a volatile political landscape. Recent polls have shown his approval surpassing that of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the question of suitability for the premiership, and the Likud party has previously stated it would not serve under center-left figures like Eisenkot, as The Zioneer has reported. The nature of the next coalition remains uncertain, with no clear blocking majority for either bloc.
