Israeli prime ministerial candidate calls Netanyahu's proposal a political manoeuvre

Israeli prime ministerial candidate Gadi Eisenkot calls the proposal by incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a national unity government another political manoeuvre. According to him, negotiating teams of the parties Likud and Yashar have already agreed at a meeting, although political partnership with Netanyahu is ruled out. Eisenkot does not rule out forming a coalition with Likud, but says this must happen without Netanyahu.
