Netanyahu Calls For Unity Government As Israel Deadlock Deepens
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has renewed his call for a national unity government with rival Gadi Eisenkot, arguing that only a broad coalition can tackle Israel's security challenges and counter the threat from Iran. But Eisenkot has rejected the appeal, insisting Netanyahu lost the election and accusing him of making a last-ditch political move. With no clear majority emerging from the recent election, the battle to form Israel's next government remains wide open.
