Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has made a clear demand for any party to join his proposed national emergency government. Eisenkot insists that any party involved must unequivocally commit to two key actions - recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization and actively working to dismantle its military and governing structures.
