Israel Opposition Leader Rules Out Netanyahu Alliance, Rejects Trump's Intervention

Hindustan Times · politics

Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has stated he will not join a government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even if US President Donald Trump requests it. Eisenkot indicated he would meet Trump but would insist on Israel's internal political matters remaining free from foreign interference. This comes after recent elections left neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition with a clear majority in the 120-member Knesset. Reports suggest Trump's representatives have explored the possibility of a national unity government to ensure political stability.
