Netanyahu sends plea to Eisenkot for unity government

Good week, my brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel. On Thursday, I had an important conversation with Gadi Eisencot. Gadi and I have known each other for many years, dating back to his tenure as Chief of Staff and even before that. This meeting only reinforced in me how much It is essential to establish a national unity government at this time. I want to clarify what this is. This is a government that will include all the parties supporting its existence. of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people. This is a government capable of meeting the immense and complex security challenges before us. Because we face numerous challenges that threaten our very existence here. Iran, my brothers and sisters, We must remove this daily threat from our heads once and for all. A narrow government, or a government reliant on terrorist supporters. She won't be able to achieve this major challenge. But the government of national unity can achieve this, and it can do so sooner. And thus ensure Israel's security for many years to come. Gadi, I am turning to you. Instead of trying to form a government She saw it as dangerous, something she could not withstand, not even in the slightest. In the face of the daunting security and national challenges before us, we must do what is required.
