Israeli opposition meets to form majority after elections

Israeli opposition parties, led by Gadi Eisenkot, are meeting to form a coalition after the recent elections. The Yashar party emerged as the second most voted, but neither bloc secured a parliamentary majority. The meeting aims to coordinate steps for establishing a government, with Eisenkot as the preferred candidate for prime minister. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu is advocating for a broad national unity government, rejecting alliances with Arab parties. President Isaac Herzog will meet with party leaders to assign the mandate for government formation.
