Eisenkot Sets Conditions for Israeli Coalition Talks
Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has set out conditions for forming a coalition. He says he will use the Knesset's majority to reverse Netanyahu-era policies and to investigate security failures linked to the recent Hamas attack. He also backs universal military conscription, and civil society groups plan demonstrations to push for change.
