Liberman asks Lapid to call meeting with opposition heads plus Bennett and Eisenkot to discuss next government

Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman has written to Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, asking him to call a meeting of the “Zionist opposition party heads” — along with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former Knesset member Gadi Eisenkot — for a discussion on “formulating the basic outlines of the next government,” the Walla news site reports.

According to the report, Liberman indicates in the letter that those leaders will need to form an alternative to the current government. The next general elections are scheduled for October 2026.

“I believe that especially during this period, we have a duty to show national responsibility and act together, for the sake of strengthening public trust and for a better future for the entire country,” writes Liberman, according to Walla.
