The leader of the anti-Netanyahu forces may be entrusted with forming the government in Israel

Gadi Ejzenkot, leader of the Straight (Jasár) party, is likely to receive the most recommendations for the prime minister position in Israel. President Yitzhak Herzog began consultations with party leaders regarding government formation. If Ejzenkot is appointed, he will have up to 42 days to form a coalition. During a live consultation, representatives from the Religious Zionism party proposed Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, rejecting cooperation with Arab parties. Despite Netanyahu's Likud party winning the most mandates in the recent elections, the fragmented political landscape makes coalition-building crucial, with the anti-Netanyahu bloc appearing to have an advantage.
