Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz reportedly reached a deal to establish an emergency unity government.
Israeli media is reporting that a unity government agreement has been reached Wednesday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition has reportedly reached an agreement with main opposition leaders, former Prime Minister Yair Lapid and former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, to form an emergency unity government following Saturday's surprise attack by Hamas. An agreement was reached in principle Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The statement said the government would not pass any legislation or decisions that are not connected to the war as long as the fighting continues. It was not immediately clear what would happen to Netanyahu’s existing government partners, a collection of far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties. Five days into the war in Israel, Netanyahu and Gantz were reportedly hashing out a deal on the unity government at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
