Avigdor Liberman announced that he will back Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister and support Yair Lapid as Knesset speaker, while explicitly refusing to enter a minority coalition that would rely on Arab parties. His declaration follows a meeting that turned tense as he confronted Eisenkot about the direction of the bloc.

The Times of Israel quoted Liberman saying a minority government dependent on Arab parties would survive less than a year. The Jerusalem Post recorded his backing of Eisenkot for prime minister and Lapid for speaker.

Haaretz noted his support for Eisenkot, and Ynetnews described a tense encounter in which Liberman accused Eisenkot of harming the anti‑Netanyahu bloc. Despite the unified front presented, the meeting also revealed internal friction; Liberman’s harsh criticism of Eisenkot for allegedly damaging the anti‑Netanyahu bloc suggests personal and strategic disagreements remain within the opposition despite the stated endorsements.
