AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCoalition Standoff: The Joint List says it will recommend Gadi Eisenkot to form Israel’s next government, bringing his endorsements to 67—more than the 61 needed to receive the mandate. But endorsements do not guarantee a governing coalition: United Torah Judaism has backed neither candidate, and opposition leaders remain divided over cooperation with Arab parties. President Isaac Herzog is expected to decide by November 11. Knesset Maneuvering: Opposition parties are seeking an early vote to replace Likud’s Amir Ohana as speaker. Ohana says he will schedule one if at least 61 lawmakers request it. Washington Shift: After Democrats swept both chambers of Congress, JD Vance blamed the Iran war for Republicans’ losses and cited voter demands for a changed relationship with Israel. Trump has announced plans to end roughly $4 billion in annual US military aid, adding uncertainty to a security partnership long central to Israel. West Bank Tensions: Herzog has warned that rising settler violence could lead to a deadly confrontation with security forces or even civil war; settlers have also moved into homes near Jericho.
