Peace Now CEO Lior Amihai joins CFPN National Chair Gabriella Goliger to unpack Israel’s pivotal election and the uncertain path to a new government. Although parties opposed to Benjamin Netanyahu won 67 Knesset seats, coalition negotiations could still produce an Eisenkot-led minority government, a unity government with Netanyahu or another election.The two discuss the roles of Arab and ultra-Orthodox parties, the political obstacles facing a new coalition and what an Eisenkot government could realistically accomplish in Gaza and the West Bank. Lior outlines opportunities to curb settler violence, strengthen the Palestinian Authority and stop the dangerous E1 settlement plan. He also explains why international pressure matters, how Peace Now is preparing for the next government and why an inquiry into the failures surrounding October 7 remains essential.Update: On Nov. 8, three days after this conversation was recorded, President Isaac Herzog formally tasked Gadi Eisenkot with trying to form a government.Watch the full webinar.Learn more from Canadian Friends of Peace Now and Shalom Achshav.Subscribe to PeaceMatters wherever you listen.
