The Israeli president entrusts Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to appoint Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, to form a government following inconclusive elections. Despite Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party securing the most seats, it lacks a governing majority. Eisenkot received support from 67 Knesset members, but the political landscape remains unstable. The coalition formation period is 28 days, extendable by 14 days. Analysts suggest that while Netanyahu's party remains the largest, the lack of a clear majority indicates a challenging political future for Israel.
