Shas spiritual leader appears to open door to Eisenkot government, says Netanyahu ‘won’t repent’
The rare remarks suggested that Shas could potentially be open to joining a government led by Eisenkot, raising questions over the longstanding haredi alliance with Netanyahu's bloc
Assessment
The Shas spiritual leader's rare remarks, including the assertion that Netanyahu 'won't repent,' suggest a potential fracture in the haredi alliance with Netanyahu's bloc. By appearing open to a government led by Eisenkot, Shas signals a possible realignment that could alter coalition arithmetic. The coming days will reveal whether this is a serious shift or a negotiating tactic.
