Unity Government or Run Out the Clock?...

Joel Rosenberg interviewed Diklah Cohen Sheinfeld on Israeli politics after the recent elections. Sheinfeld stated that Netanyahu’s primary aim is to stay as prime minister, either by forming a broader unity government or by running out the clock toward another election.

Sheinfeld noted the pressure on opposition leaders to compromise on pre-election positions, especially with possible further action against Iran ahead. President Isaac Herzog is described as playing a central role in pressing for unity and compromise in the coming weeks.
