Former British prime minister Tony Blair is set to meet with Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, according to reports in Israel, as the latter looks to win approval to form a coalition amid ongoing election deadlock.
uncertain
latter → set → deadlock
The meeting comes after Blair, a senior member of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, met separately with President Isaac Herzog and prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.
asserted
Blair → come → Thursday
Blair travelled to Israel for meetings to advance to the next stages of the Gaza ceasefire plan - which has stalled in recent months and has failed to bring an end to deadly Israeli attacks in the enclave or the disarmament of Hamas.
asserted
which → travel → Hamas
But Gaza’s immediate future is now tied directly to the outcome of the Israeli elections, after Israel’s national election on October 27 produced no clear winner, with neither Netanyahu or Eisenkot securing a clear path to a majority in parliament.
asserted
Netanyahu → tie → parliament
It has left Herzog, whose role is mostly ceremonial, with the tricky task of picking a candidate he believes has the best chance to form a coalition in a deeply divided country.
asserted
he → leave → country
Eisenkot is seen as more moderate than Netanyahu in his vision of military strategy, but the Yashar party leader has nonetheless made clear that his government would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
asserted
government → see → state
The former prime minister, who has remained heavily involved in international affairs since stepping down in 2007, is expected to discuss with Israeli leaders how to advance the second phase of the US-led framework for peace, which is supposed to bring about a total Israeli withdrawal from the strip along with Hamas relinquishing its weapons.
asserted
Hamas → remain → weapons
Blair has been engaged in shuttle diplomacy between Jerusalem, Cairo, and other capitals in the Middle East, while working in his role as a founding executive member of the Board of Peace.
Eisenkot has previously criticised the Board of Peace, warning the Israeli government "leaving Hamas in power" under the board's new framework.
asserted
government → engage → framework
The 66-year-old secured approval on Thursday from a majority of lawmakers to try to form a government, but Herzog - who promised to nominate a candidate by Sunday - said it is still unclear who will break the deadlock.
uncertain
who → secure → deadlock
Herzog held marathon talks with elected factions on Wednesday and Thursday, during which 67 of parliament's 120 elected lawmakers endorsed Eisenkot, while 46 endorsed Netanyahu.
asserted
46 → hold → Netanyahu
In televised remarks at the end of the talks, Herzog said that while the "results of the consultations may appear clear", there were "mutual vetoes between the blocs and within the blocs themselves" that make it difficult to say who has the best shot to form a government.
Herzog said he would make a pick on Sunday, and that he would hold "personal talks with some of the party leaders" over the Israeli weekend, which runs Friday-Saturday.
uncertain
which → televise → weekend
