Eisenkot dismisses Netanyahu’s call for unity govt in Israel, calls it ‘tricks’

After Israeli caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a national unity government with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, the latter dismissed the appeal, accusing Netanyahu of playing “tricks”. “Netanyahu is calling for negotiations while they are already underway; he claims to want unity but sows division and stokes tensions as if there were no tomorrow,” Eisenkot said.
