Education Minister Yoav Kisch said at the Israel Hayom conference Sunday that he believes former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot will form a minority government relying on Arab party support, pass a law preventing Benjamin Netanyahu from running for office, and then dissolve the Knesset for new elections. Kisch's assessment reflects the current political fragmentation ahead of a potential election cycle.
Education Minister Yoav Kisch (Likud) made the prediction at the Israel Hayom conference on Sunday, in a session covered by the outlet. Kisch's scenario — a minority government led by Eisenkot with external support from Arab parties, legislation to bar Netanyahu from candidacy, followed by another election — outlines one possible path amid the current political deadlock. The assessment comes from a senior coalition figure, though Kisch is not directly involved in coalition negotiations. As The Zioneer reported in June, Kisch previously addressed the reopening of schools and the Lebanon deal, but his latest remarks shift focus to the electoral arena.
