IDI President Yohanan Plesner speaks with Zain Asher on CNN’s One World about the challenges Gadi Eisenkot faces in forming a government now that Israel’s president has granted him the mandate to do so. Plesner explains how Eisenkot must navigate divisions within his bloc over the military conscription law and the role of Arab parties—joining the coalition or supporting it from outside—while seeking agreement on the four priorities he has outlined as the basis for a future government.
