PELONI: The govt which comes from a flawed election should not be granted the authority to make the changes which will be decided by any govt struck between Netanyahu and Eisenkot, which should make such public political posturing as this obsolete. If any unity govt is to be formed, it should be based on the unfettered will of the people rather than on one which was clearly compromised, and yet was certified before even attempting to ascertain the consequence of the compromise. I have said it before, what begins in Washington rarely remains in Washington, but the practice of accepting the outcome of compromised elections, especially when that compromise is related to hostile foreign actors, should not be adopted as routine, feasible or even acceptable.
Netanyahu said that a unity government composed of all the parties that support Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people “will answer the yearning” of many citizens.

Tehran is “once again working to revive its nuclear program,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday night, calling on his political rival Gadi Eisenkot to establish a national unity government that will deal with the Iranian threat together.
Netanyahu called on the former military chief to accept coalition negotiations “without preconditions” and accept agreements “for the sake of Israel’s security and future.”
The Iranian regime that murdered thousands of its own people “will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against us,” Netanyahu warned in a recorded message delivered to the press.
“We must remove this existential threat hanging over our heads once and for all,” he continued.
Netanyahu said that a narrow government reliant on the 19 Knesset seats of the Arab parties, or on some of their lawmakers, whom he branded “supporters of terrorism,” will not be able to accomplish this task.
But a national unity government, he stressed, “can achieve it in time, thereby ensuring Israel’s security for many years to come.”
Netanyahu moreover said that a unity government composed of all the parties that support Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people “will answer the yearning” of many citizens.
He said that the issue of military conscription—one of the main issues around which the Oct. 27 election revolved—can be resolved in a unity government together with the ultra-Orthodox parties.
The appropriate response to those who “deliberately walked out” during the singing of “Hatikvah,” Israel’s national anthem, during the swearing-in ceremony of the new Knesset on Tuesday, is to establish the Government of Hope, the premier said.
