The U.S.-Israel Relationship Is Broken. Here’s How Eisenkot Could Fix It.

Coverage from multiple outlets on November 13, 2026, focuses on Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid coalition negotiations. The Jerusalem Post reports that Netanyahu urges Eisenkot to form a unity government, while also noting that Netanyahu struggles to block Eisenkot's haredi coalition. A separate Jerusalem Post article describes coalition talks involving Netanyahu, Eisenkot, and Avigdor Liberman as political bluffing. Haaretz publishes an analysis titled "Caught between two clocks: Eisenkot races to block Netanyahu's war," and an opinion piece addressed to Eisenkot stating that he will not save Israel without ending the occupation. Al Jazeera runs commentary suggesting that Netanyahu may fall but that his far-right legacy in Israel is going nowhere. The New York Times publishes an article arguing that the U.S.-Israel relationship is broken and examining how Eisenkot could fix it. The coverage does not yet specify the timeline for coalition talks, the terms of any unity government proposal, or the specific steps Eisenkot might take to repair relations with the United States. Readers should watch for announcements from Eisenkot's office, developments in the Knesset, and any statements from Washington regarding bilateral ties.
