United Arab List will nominate Eisenkot as prime minister

The Joint List, which brings together three Arab parties, announced in an official statement that it will recommend Gadi Eisenkot to form the government. The decision was taken unanimously and that "it was not an easy choice, the statement says. "Despite our determination to overthrow Netanyahu, the opposition front led by Eisenkot has not yet demonstrated the necessary will to counter Netanyahu's political line and combat hate speech against Arab citizens.

Although Eisenkot receives more recommendations than Netanyahu, we believe it is important to widen the gap between the two."
