Ra'amYashar (Eisenkot)
Eisenkot rules out Ra'am
On 26 September Eisenkot said Ra'am will not be part of the next government because it does not accept his conditions for partners, which include universal military or national service and recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization that must be destroyed. After the vote, Abbas said Ra'am was willing to join an Eisenkot-led government once one was viable, while Eisenkot restated those conditions.

Fault lines to manage

Religious Zionism-ZehutTogether (Bennett-Lapid)
Bennett and Smotrich: a conditional veto
Bennett says Smotrich is disqualified from serving under him unless he reverses the draft-exemption measures he championed; Smotrich keeps the Haredi parties as partners and backs a consent-based process.

Religious Zionism-ZehutYashar (Eisenkot)
Eisenkot and Smotrich: conditions for partnership
In an interview published 24 September, Eisenkot said he does not personally rule out Smotrich but cannot accept his support for a draft-exemption law. A partnership depends on meeting Yashar's conditions, including universal military or national service.
