Golan meets with Eisenkot as opposition falls short of Knesset majority
The meetings came after Golan called on Wednesday for the opposition to form a coalition with the Arab parties, following a combined total of 19 seats projected for the Joint List and Ra’am
Assessment
Opposition leader Golan is scrambling to build a coalition after falling short of a Knesset majority, meeting with former IDF chief Eisenkot for support. The math is tight: Golan's call to include Arab parties like the Joint List and Ra'am, which together hold 19 projected seats, signals a break from past coalition norms. Whether Eisenkot joins or stays neutral will determine if Golan can reach 61 seats or faces a deadlock.
