Liberman rules out participation in minority government floated by Eisenkot

Avigdor Liberman, leader of the Yisrael Beytenu party, has rejected the idea of joining a minority government, a possibility floated by Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar party. Eisenkot suggested that if the anti-Netanyahu bloc secured 52-58 Knesset seats in the upcoming October 27 election, they could form a government focused on nationally consensual issues, potentially with support from Arab-majority parties. Liberman, whose party is projected to win around 10 seats, stated, "Yisrael Beytenu will not be a partner in any constellation of minority government, period." He also outlined his party's platform, which includes a commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack, a universal conscription law, prime ministerial term limits, a core curriculum for all funded schools, and a committee to draft a constitution.
