In Israel, opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has set 4 conditions for forming a new government. According to Israeli media Ynet, this includes making military service compulsory for the Haredi community. In addition, it also includes maintaining Israel as a Jewish and democratic country and ending Hamas's rule in Gaza. Eisenkot said that the path is open for parties that accept these conditions to join the coalition. In fact, no coalition won a majority in the elections held on October 27. In the 120-seat parliament, 61 seats are needed to form a government. Eisenkot's party Yashar has become the largest opposition party, winning 21 seats. They are in talks with the leaders of different parties to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. Which parties got how many seats in the Israeli elections... Eisenkot's 4 conditions... The first condition is that Israel should remain a Jewish and democratic country. Eisenkot wants the identity of Israel to remain as a Jewish and democratic country. The government should give equal rights to all citizens and should not discriminate against anyone on the basis of religion or community. That is, the freedom and rights of every citizen in the country should be respected. The second condition is that military service is necessary for all citizens, every citizen of Israel is required to serve in the army, national or civil service. That is, the responsibility of serving the country should be of all citizens. Currently, it is mandatory for Jewish citizens in Israel to serve in the army, but the highly religious Haredi community has been exempted from it. People from this community say that they practice religion, so they cannot be recruited into the army. Eisenkot's party says that when the country is facing security challenges and war, the responsibility of serving in the army should not lie with any one class, but on all citizens. The third condition is that the principles set at the time of independence should be adhered to. Eisenkot wants the new government to work according to the principles set at the time of Israel's independence in 1948. This includes maintaining Israel as a Jewish state, as well as democracy, freedom, justice and equal rights for all citizens. This condition is necessary because there has been a controversy over the Netanyahu government's decision to change the judiciary. Opponents allege that these changes can weaken democratic institutions. Eisenkot has also talked about the repeal of these controversial laws. Fourth condition - End of Hamas's rule in Gaza Eisenkot wants the regime of Hamas to end in Gaza and also to end its military power. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Many people were killed and many people were taken hostage. In response, Israel launched military operations in Gaza, causing heavy destruction and killing a large number of Palestinians. Eisencott believes that for the security of Israel, it is necessary to prevent Hamas from coming back to power in Gaza. Israel has 42 days to form a government. After the elections in Israel, the president talks to the leaders of all parties. He then assigns the responsibility of forming a government to one of the MPs. That MP has to gain the confidence of the parliament within the stipulated time. The leader chosen to form the government in Israel initially gets 28 days. If necessary, the president can extend it for another 14 days. That is, a total of 42 days can be given to form the government. During this time, the leader has to negotiate with other parties and get support. For this, agreements can be reached between the parties regarding policies and ministries. Eisenhower has been meeting with leaders of opposition parties since the election results were announced. His effort is to strengthen his claim to form a government before President Isaac Herzog by gaining the support of as many MPs as possible. Accusing Likud of trying to break up Yasser's MPs The Yasher party has accused Netanyahu's Likud party of trying to bring its MPs to its party. According to the party, some Likud leaders have been calling and persuading their MPs to support Netanyahu. In a statement issued, Yasher said that Likud leaders are upset and are contacting its MPs after the election defeat.
