Bruria Naim Arman, the party’s CEO and number 11 on the “Together” party list, delivered a message to party activists regarding Bennett’s strategy:

“To achieve significant results, we must act responsibly and quietly. In these cases, silence does not imply consent.”

And most importantly: a Zionist government of reform that will implement the revolution of those who serve.

I think the message is clear.

Bennett, through his CEO, makes it clear:

To Eisenkot — This will be a Zionist government (I’m not convinced that forming one with Arab votes is consistent with that).

To Lieberman — A revolution in military service.

And to both — Silence does not imply consent.

Going back to the column from earlier this week — the man of the hour is actually Bennett, the one who isn’t running for prime minister.

The President is expected to task Eisenkot with forming the government.

Dozens of millimeters of rain fell across the country.

Reports of another attempt to reach an agreement between the US and Iran.

**Chairman of the Democrats, Maj. Gen. (res.) Yair Golan:**

We want a partnership with the ultra-Orthodox community, but a genuine partnership requires mutual responsibility.

Unlike Netanyahu, we will not go all the way to Bnei Brak or Mea Shearim. Anyone who wants to partner with us will have to meet us in Ramat Gan.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews must be drafted into the military. We must also expand their participation in the workforce and ensure that every child in Israel receives the tools needed to earn a decent living. The middle class cannot continue to bear the economic and security burden alone.

And just as we respect the ultra-Orthodox way of life, we expect them to respect ours as well. In municipalities under our leadership, people should be able to go out and enjoy themselves on Shabbat, have a cup of coffee, and—heaven forbid—even get there by public transportation.

We are extending a hand out of a genuine desire to form a government of change. But under no circumstances are we giving anyone a blank check. Anyone who wants to work with us will have to be willing to embrace change.

Using this word for the first time since the start of the campaign.

Netanyahu: This is a time for unity.

Once the word “rotation” is mentioned, things will start to get interesting.

And they stipulate that unity will be achieved by dismantling the bloc and under Eisenkot’s leadership.

According to the Basic Law: The Government, if a candidate presents a government but fails to secure a majority, the mandate to form a government returns to the President of the State.

This means that the risk of presenting a government with the support of 48 Knesset members is not only about whether it can secure a majority, but also about the legislative initiatives planned in the Knesset. The chairmanship of the Arrangements Committee always passes to the party of the person holding the mandate to form a government.

Shas in a statement:

“Contrary to the false reports being circulated this evening by various journalists regarding Shas supposedly joining an Eisenkot-led government, this is completely fake news. As instructed by the Council of Torah Sages, Shas is part of the right-wing bloc, which cherishes the Torah and Jewish tradition.

We reiterate that only official statements issued by Shas are authoritative, not reports from journalists or social media commentators.”

**President of Israel Concludes Consultations and Announces He Will Task Gadi Eisenkot with Forming the Government**

Following the President’s announcement at the conclusion of the consultations last Thursday that further discussions would take place over the weekend, the President of Israel informed Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar Party, this evening, Saturday, November 7 (27 Cheshvan), of his intention to task him with forming the next government.

The President has invited Gadi Eisenkot to the President’s Residence for the official ceremony at which he will receive the mandate to form a government. The ceremony will take place tomorrow, Sunday, November 8 (28 Cheshvan), at 5:00 PM.

At the conclusion of the consultations, parliamentary factions representing **67 members of the Knesset recommended Gadi Eisenkot**, chairman of the Yashar Party, to form the government. Factions representing **46 members of the Knesset recommended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu**, chairman of the Likud Party, while a faction representing seven members of the Knesset chose not to recommend any candidate.

It should be emphasized that over the past several days, the President has held in-depth discussions with various figures across the political spectrum. Among others, he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar Party chairman Gadi Eisenkot, both of whom he informed of his intentions.

Under Israel’s Basic Law: The Government, once a member of the Knesset is formally tasked with forming a government, they have **28 days to establish a new government in Israel**. Should additional time be required, the President has the authority to grant an extension of up to **14 additional days**, in accordance with the law.

The official ceremony for assigning the mandate to form a government will be broadcast live and will be open to media coverage, subject to advance registration with the President’s Office spokesperson via email at Dover@presidentherzog.com by tomorrow, Sunday, at 1:00 PM.

Hi Amit,

My name is Dorit Masika, and I’m from the nonprofit organization Chiburim 20-80 (Connections 20-80).

Since October 7, loneliness among senior citizens has become significantly worse. During times of emergency, we received three times as many requests as usual for help, companionship, or simply someone to knock on their door.

These are our parents and grandparents. And they are alone.

Through a human-operated support center and smart technology, we connect seniors with volunteers who live right in their neighborhoods, so that no one is left alone.

We urgently need to reach more people, which is why we’ve launched our **“It Pays to Do Good”** fundraising campaign!

A donation of **100 NIS or more** gives you the chance to enter a prize draw for some amazing prizes. Most importantly, your donation helps us be there for seniors, both in everyday life and during emergencies.

Among our donors, we’ll be raffling off **a vacation for two in Japan 🇯🇵 (!!!), an iPhone 18, and many more exciting prizes! >

Dr. Faten Ghattas, No. 3 on the Joint List, to the BBC:

**Hamas?** Throughout history, wherever there has been occupation, there has been resistance, and this must be clearly understood.

International law actually allows a people under occupation to resist those who occupy them.

We reject the claim that if we join the government, it will be a terrorist government. What the current government is doing today constitutes severe terrorism against us as citizens, as well as terrorism in the occupied territories. That is the reality on the ground.

The encouraging part is that, for the first time, someone from the 19 is using the word “terrorism.”
