Benjamin Netanyahu tells haredi parties they cannot trust Gadi Eisenkot promises
What happened
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is personally speaking with rabbis and sending emissaries to haredi leaders to dissuade them from joining a government led by Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu is warning the haredi parties that an Eisenkot government may abandon its commitments to them after the first budget is approved. Haredi parties are seeking an alternative to an Eisenkot government, but Netanyahu has not provided a clear answer.
Why it matters
The outcome of the negotiations between Netanyahu and the haredi parties may determine the composition of the next government in Israel and the influence of the haredi parties within it. The haredi parties are seeking to protect their interests and secure commitments from the government. The reliability of Eisenkot's promises is a major point of contention.
