00:16A reported Trump-backed plan could reshape Israel's political future, with Benjamin
00:22Netanyahu potentially staying as prime minister for two more years before retiring from politics.
00:28But there's a major twist.
00:30The U.S. ambassador to Israel has strongly denied the report.
00:34According to an October 15th report by Israel Hayam, the Trump administration is reportedly
00:41encouraging a broad unity government bringing Netanyahu's Likud party together with former
00:47Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot's Yashir party.
00:51The proposed coalition would aim to end regional conflicts and advance diplomatic agreements
00:57with Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia.
01:01The reported framework would allow Netanyahu to remain prime minister for up to two years.
01:07After that, he would retire from political life, making way for a new political arrangement.
01:12But Eisenkot's bloc reportedly has three major conditions, binding guarantees of Netanyahu's
01:19retirement, the reversal of legislation linked to judicial reforms, and a state commission
01:25of inquiry into the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack.
01:30The proposal also comes amid Washington's push to expand the Abraham Accords and secure a normalization
01:37agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
01:40Such a deal could reshape regional relations, but the composition of Israel's government remains
01:47a key political consideration.
01:48However, the report has faced a strong denial.
01:52U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, called the claim that Washington was pressuring Israel
01:58to form this coalition completely untrue.
02:01He said the United States was not trying to interfere in Israel's elections or dictate decisions
02:08to its prime minister.
02:09Meanwhile, Israeli opposition figures have raised questions about possible post-election alliances,
02:15while Eisenkot has previously rejected a power-sharing rotation with Netanyahu.
02:21With Israel's elections scheduled for October 27, the country's political future remains uncertain.
02:28For now, there is no confirmed agreement, and the reported U.S.-backed framework remains disputed.
02:34Whether a unity government emerges will depend on the election results and subsequent coalition
02:40negotiations.
