Eisenkot can't govern without the Arab lists and doesn't need them at the table, so the real choices are a minority government they back from outside, the way Rabin's was, or Netanyahu stepping aside.
This is so interesting and I am so glad Zev and team are covering it, becuase no one else seems to be. Also, to learn that Don Jr's Polymarket is investigating suspicious trades on its Israel markets after the odds swung to Netanyahu overnight -- THIS is a chef's kiss of IRONY. They actually pay influencers to fake winning bets and then build dummy websites to pull it off!
From the 3 options you outline, Zev, the Rabin-style approach seems better than the two others.
Yet it really disgusts the democracy and fairness loving part of me that the so-called Arab List would have no seat at the table with Eisenkot's bloc, and would be rendered silent.
This is such odirect proof that xenophobia and anti-Muslim racism underpins the entire state of Israel.
Sounds like Eisenkot had to settle for having a few small right-wing ultra-Orthodox parties in his coalition so they remain not being subject to the draft. If he would have brought in the Arab list then they would have fled to the arms of Bibi . Meanwhile, the Arab List succeed in keeping Bibi and his two cabinet war criminals out of power and also can withhold their vote if the right-wing in Eisenkot’s coalition decides to discriminate even more against the Israeli Arabs (also exempt from conscription for obvious reasons).
One hopes this is the chance to remand Bibi to the courts and then to the international court.

A Divine Wind is blowing hard against Bibi, the little gangster.

Very sad. Very, very sad indeed.
Does Tweedle-dum Donald copy Tweedle-dee Bibi?
Or does Tweedle-dee Bibi dictate to Tweedle-dum Donald?
Or did Tweedle-dee Bibi, copy, oh nevah mind....
Hope you're right and we can finally rid ourselves of BiBi and save some lives.

Interesting. But you need to clean up the writing/grammar. It was a bit difficult to parse.
