Gilad Erdan, the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, announced his intention to establish a new right-wing political party, distinct from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. This initiative comes as discussions among senior right-wing figures are underway to form a party tentatively referred to as 'Likud B,' aimed at providing an alternative for voters who oppose extremist coalitions. In interviews, Erdan expressed his vision for a 'government of national reconciliation,' stating that many Israelis are seeking a political force that does not depend on extremist elements. He believes his extensive experience in various ministerial roles equips him to lead effectively as prime minister. The proposed party would include other prominent figures like Yuli Edelstein and Moshe Kahlon, and aims to create a broad coalition without committing to either Netanyahu's bloc or rival factions. With general elections scheduled by October 27, the political landscape in Israel remains dynamic and uncertain.
