The President of Israel announces that he will appoint Gadi Eisenkot to form the Government

Following the recent elections in Israel, President Isaac Herzog will task centrist leader Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government amid political deadlock. Eisenkot received support from 67 lawmakers compared to 46 for Benjamin Netanyahu. The ultra-Orthodox party, which abstained, may shift alliances depending on recruitment solutions for their students. Eisenkot faces a significant personal and political challenge as he navigates this complex landscape, especially following the loss of his son in a military operation.
