Discussions about forming an emergency unity government have been ongoing since yesterday, with the National Unity Party now stating that they would like to exclude far right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
Representatives from former Defense Minister Benny Gantz's National Unity Party suggested a proposal to establish a streamlined war cabinet, with the members being Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Gantz, and Gantz's party colleague, former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.
