Israel's Deadlock Shifts
It has become increasingly likely that Gadi Eisenkot will be tasked with forming the Israeli government after the election, following Avigdor Lieberman’s announcement that he would refuse to join a Benjamin Netanyahu government—even in exchange for a rotation in the premiership—and would recommend Eisenkot instead. The tally of recommendations indicates that 67 lawmakers support Eisenkot, including 19 Arab lawmakers, compared with 46 for Netanyahu and his allies and seven neutral lawmakers. But turning that support into a governing majority faces disagreements over whether Arab parties should participate, while Eisenkot’s camp is hoping to attract defectors from Likud. The name of the person tasked with forming the government is due to be announced on November 11. They will have 28 days to form a government, with a possible 14-day extension.
