Israel: Opposition leader Eisenkot opens coalition talks as Netanyahu's exit becomes possible

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu may be forced out of office after no party won a parliamentary majority in last month's general election. Following post-election consultations, Eisenkot, leader of the opposition party Yashar, which gained the most support, began coalition talks to form a government. Eisenkot has urged cooperation, saying the country could fail to recover as a state if the current situation continues. The coalition talks have a 42-day deadline, after which, if no agreement is reached, another figure, including Netanyahu, would take on the negotiations.

イスラエルのネタニヤフ首相が退陣に追い込まれる可能性が出てきました。 先月の総選挙で、どの党も議会の過半数に届かなかったため、選挙後の聞き取りで最も多くの指示を集めた野党『ヤシャル』の党首・アイゼンコット氏が組閣に向けた連立交渉を開始しました。 アイゼンコット氏は「このままだと、国家として立ち直ることができなくなる」と協力を呼び掛けています。 連立交渉の期限は42日で、まとまらない場合、ネタニヤフ首相を含めた別の人物が連立交渉にあたることになります。 [テレ朝NEWS] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
