Rome, November 14 (LaPresse) – Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s offer to negotiate a unity government this evening, calling it “yet another propaganda ploy,” the Times of Israel reports. Eisenkot also announced that the Likud and Yashar negotiating teams have already scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. Although he ruled out any collaboration with Netanyahu, the general said he was, in principle, open to an alliance with the Likud, provided Bibi is excluded. “He claims to want unity, but then he desecrates an institutional ceremony in the Knesset, sowing division and inciting hatred,” Eisenkot said, referring to Netanyahu. “Nice try, but these tricks don’t work on me. And they don’t work on Israeli citizens either,” he added.
