Eisenkot's Government Options
The recommendations of the Arab parties tipped the balance in favor of Gadi Eisenkot being tasked with forming the government: he received the backing of 67 lawmakers, compared with 46 for Netanyahu. If tasked, he would have 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension. The five possible scenarios are: a coalition of the Jewish opposition and the eight-seat United Arab List, with outside support from the 11-seat Joint List, giving it a total of 56 seats; bringing the seven-seat United Torah Judaism into the coalition, with outside Arab support, for a total of 55 seats; a coalition combining the opposition, the ultra-Orthodox parties and the United Arab List, with a 63-seat majority; a minority government of the Jewish opposition with 48 seats, relying on the support of the two Arab parties, which together hold 19 seats; or a unity government bringing together Jewish parties from both blocs, excluding the far-right parties. If Eisenkot fails to form a government, another member of parliament could be tasked with the job, and the process could ultimately lead to new elections. His success will depend on turning Arab support into political agreements.
