MK Sharren Haskel, chair of the Israel First party, said her party can serve as a bridge to unite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot in a broad Zionist coalition government. She stated she would consider alliances with those who see themselves as part of such a government and would be willing to sit in a coalition with Netanyahu, according to The Jerusalem Post.
MK Sharren Haskel, chair of the Israel First party, said her party can serve as a bridge to unite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot in a broad Zionist coalition government, according to The Jerusalem Post. Haskel stated she would consider alliances with political figures who see themselves as part of such a government and would be willing to sit in a coalition with Netanyahu.
Haskel launched the Israel First party in July after resigning from her previous party, vowing to represent the Zionist, security-oriented right and oppose backroom deals. As The Zioneer has reported, Eisenkot, who leads the Yashar party, has previously hinted at openness to a partnership with Netanyahu, while also calling for a broad coalition government. Haskel's statement positions her party as a potential mediator between the two camps, offering a possible path to a wider coalition.
