Gadi Eisenkot, the leader of the Israeli opposition, has recently been tasked with forming the future government of the country. This mission was assigned to him on November 8 by Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, following consultations with various parliamentary parties. In this consultation, parties representing 67 out of 120 Knesset members supported Eisenkot, while representatives of 46 voted in favor of Netanyahu. A seven-member faction also refrained from supporting either candidate.
Opportunities and Challenges Ahead
Eisenkot now has 28 days to form a government, and this deadline may be extended by another 14 days. Despite the majority support from Knesset members for Eisenkot, he faces serious challenges in the path to forming a government. Senior officials of the Trump administration are pressuring Eisenkot to establish a new government as soon as possible, but one of his allies has created an obstacle in this process.
