Liberman endorses Eisenkot for Israeli PM, rules out Arab-backed minority government


Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman said Monday he would support opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister, uniting Israel’s Jewish-led opposition parties behind a single candidate, acccording to The Times of Israel.

Liberman ruled out joining a minority government backed by Arab lawmakers, one of the few possible paths to removing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I was also clear on the topic of a minority government: It won’t happen,” he said.

The opposition holds 67 seats in the 120-member Knesset but remains divided between 48 lawmakers from Jewish-led parties and 19 Arab lawmakers.

Liberman also criticized Eisenkot’s campaign as “egotistical,” saying the bloc’s 48 seats fell well short of expectations.
