The UTJ’s Degel HaTorah faction has announced it will not recommend Netanyahu as Prime Minister in upcoming consultations, marking a significant fracturing of the coalition and underscoring growing rifts with the premier.

Following President Herzog’s consultations with party heads, Yoav Eisenkot is now expected to receive the mandate to form a government. Ra’am has confirmed it will endorse Eisenkot, suggesting a potential shift in the political landscape away from Netanyahu’s continued premiership.

The withdrawal of Haredi support represents a critical blow to Netanyahu’s political position and indicates substantial movement among coalition and opposition parties toward alternative leadership.

This development suggests the presidency is actively exploring post-Netanyahu governmental configurations, with multiple political factions appearing to coalesce around alternative leadership options.
