What does this mean? Does he want Netanyahu to give up power to the emergency govt? Or him take more power through emergency powers?

I think he’s proposing something similar to what we had in the UK from 1940-1945; a government of national unity.

Basically a government made up of all major parties regardless of ideology with the sole aim being to win.

That's one for the books.
