Feiglin's Response to the Possibility of Supporting Eisenkot for Prime Minister

In depth

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, expressed willingness to sit in a government led by Gadi Eisenkot in exchange for the defense portfolio, according to Kan News. The remarks were made during negotiations for a merger with the Economic Party of Yaron Zelekha.

Feiglin later signed a running agreement with the Religious Zionism party. The agreement includes a clause requiring support for Netanyahu for prime minister, but it is not legally binding, according to Kan News.

According to Behadrei Haredim, Zelekha is the one who blew up the negotiations, as claimed by Feiglin's party. Feiglin himself was accused over his remarks about Netanyahu, and according to Ice he said that Netanyahu is not a man of the right.
