In a significant political development, sources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have indicated they would not insist on including Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) in a potential unity government coalition. This represents a potential shift in coalition dynamics as Netanyahu’s team continues efforts to establish a unity government.

The message, relayed to opposition leader Moshe Eisenkot, suggests that if substantive unity talks were to commence, the removal of Ben Gvir’s far-right party from the coalition would not be a sticking point for the government. This comes as Eisenkot’s bloc has reportedly agreed to form special committees aimed at repealing four key laws from the judicial overhaul, including legislation that weakened the Attorney General and changed judicial appointment mechanisms.

The Likud party dismissed some reports as “lies,” but the broader signals indicate ongoing negotiations between the government and opposition regarding a potential unity arrangement. The development reflects continued tension within the current coalition and potential repositioning ahead of possible government restructuring.
