In depth

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman announced that he is standing behind Benny Gantz and Eisenkot and is not seeking a rotation. He said he will not lend a hand to any coalition that relies on Ra'am and the Joint List. Liberman added that a government can be formed within a reasonable time.

At the opening of the faction meeting, Liberman said: "I am standing behind Eisenkot. I made clear that I am not seeking a rotation or a mutation." He said, "I have seen the conduct of the Haredim - there is a window of opportunity here that must be seized."

Liberman reiterated that he will not support a government that relies on the Arab parties, and conveyed a message to Eisenkot: "I am not demanding that, a government can certainly be sworn in within a reasonable time."
