Victory Pending a Quorum
Gadi Eisenkot has a deadline for defeating Hamas. His prospective coalition has yet to agree on how to exist.
On Oct. 15, the Yashar leader pledged from the Gaza border: “Within 18 months of taking office as prime minister, Hamas will no longer rule the Gaza Strip.”
He would implement Trump’s plan or use military operations to destroy Hamas’s military wing. The clock conveniently starts after he gets the job.
Avigdor Lieberman then ruled out supporting any minority government, even temporarily. His coalition excludes Netanyahu, the Arab parties and both ultra-Orthodox parties. Likud members are welcome once they abandon Netanyahu.
Current polling gives neither bloc a majority. Lieberman’s alternative therefore depends on Likud lawmakers defecting after the election. He says some would be willing. They have yet to deliver his government.
Likud attacks Eisenkot over dependence on Arab parties. Lieberman blocks that route while counting on recruits from Likud. Both sides make coalition arithmetic somebody else’s problem.
Eisenkot promises to remove Hamas in 18 months. First, his allies need to find 61 lawmakers they can tolerate.

The Opposition’s Friendly Fire Sale
Israel’s opposition agreed to stop attacking itself. Eleven days before the election, the ceasefire expired.
On Oct. 16, Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman branded Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot “Benny Gantz 2.” He accused Eisenkot of poaching opposition votes to negotiate a government with Netanyahu from a stronger position.
Gantz defended Eisenkot, then accused Lieberman of plotting a minority government with Bennett and the Arab parties. Lieberman has publicly ruled that out. Gantz’s own prescription is a “cross-bloc Zionist unity government.”
Eisenkot answered without naming Lieberman. He urged voters to ignore the spin and deliver more than 61 seats for change.
Lieberman offers an opposition purged of unacceptable partners. Gantz offers a government across the divide. Eisenkot wants enough votes to avoid explaining the coalition before election day.
Netanyahu’s opponents are competing over who might rescue him after the vote. For now, they are providing the campaign assistance free.
