Following the Knesset swearing-in ceremony, potential coalition partners have revealed significant ideological and policy divisions despite public reconciliation efforts. The gaps between the parties continue to deepen even as all sides maintain strategic communications.

Netanyahu has signalled his focus on sustaining governance through Trump’s presidency (approximately two years), meeting with Torah Judaism leadership to prevent their joining the opposition change bloc. However, these efforts have not been successful, with opposition leader Ganz criticising the approach: ‘This is not how you build unity.’

Itamar Ben-Gvir cancelled negotiations following Netanyahu’s speech, while the government continues its ‘reconciliation campaign’ in Likud. However, the fundamental disagreements on key issues—including Lieberman’s impossible conditions and Eisenkot’s secret negotiations—suggest the coalition framework remains fragile and unstable.
