Israel's Justice Party leader, Eisenkot, stated that if one accepts his four principles, it is possible to become a partner in the emergency coalition government he leads:
First, recognize Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
Second, accept the values embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
Third, require all individuals to fulfill their service obligations, whether military, state, or civilian, to strengthen the Israel Defense Forces and expand its manpower.
Fourth, recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization and pledge to destroy its military and governing capabilities.
