An unverified social media analysis claims that Gadi Eisenkot cannot form a government without a specific group of left-wing MKs, including Yair Golan and Naama Lazimi. The same list is said to be necessary for Avigdor Liberman to build a coalition. The analysis also predicts that Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid will not pass the electoral threshold.
A social media post published Thursday evening lays out a political calculus in which neither Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party nor Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu can form a governing coalition without a bloc of left-wing Knesset members, including Yair Golan (Meretz), Naama Lazimi (Labor), and others. The analysis further asserts that Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid would fail to pass the electoral threshold, effectively removing them from the coalition equation. The post is a personal assessment, not attributed to named sources or verified data. It adds to a series of speculative coalition scenarios circulating on Israeli social media in recent weeks, similar to previous analyses covered by The Zioneer, including a June 27 prediction of a unity government and a July 11 model proposing a Likud-Religious Zionism-New Hope-Yisrael Beiteinu-Eisenkot coalition. The current analysis explicitly excludes Bennett and Lapid from the threshold and positions the left-wing MKs as kingmakers for both Eisenkot and Liberman. No polling or official statements support the claims.
