Minority government scenario

Analyst: I'll fight for Bibi to be PM

Attila Somfalvi responds to conditions set by Joint List MK for Eisenkot minority government: If Eisenkot retreats even one inch on the Jewish state or war on Hamas, I will personally fight for Netanyahu to be prime minister

Netanyahu

Becker Awadeh, number four on the Joint List, said Sunday on a Jordanian channel that if Eisenkot wants to form a government, he must retreat from the four principles he presented during the election campaign: recognition of Israel as a Jewish state; commitment to the Declaration of Independence; mandatory service for all; and recognition of Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Political analyst Attila Somfalvi, who previously supported Benny Gantz and has called for forming a unity government, responded: "Becker Awadeh, if Eisenkot retreats even one inch on anything regarding the Jewish state or the war of annihilation against Hamas, I will personally fight for Bibi to be prime minister. Chutzpah."

Earlier Sunday, communications adviser Ronen Tzur addressed on Radio 103FM the scenario in which US President Donald Trump would force a unity government on Netanyahu and Eisenkot, saying: "This possibility definitely exists. With all the history and dismal past of Netanyahu's unity governments, there is a possibility that Trump will call either Eisenkot or Bennett to the White House and say 'I guarantee you.' The possibility that they will say 'no' also exists."
