Netanyahu or Eisenkot
The October 27 election did not settle who would form Israel’s government. Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, won 27 seats, compared with 21 for Yashar, led by Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu’s bloc secured 53 seats, while the opposition won 48; a majority requires 61. The recommendation of the Arab parties, which hold 19 seats, could give Eisenkot the backing of 67 lawmakers in consultations over who should be tasked with forming a government, but it does not guarantee that he can form a coalition or secure its support in a confidence vote. Eisenkot may therefore have a better chance of receiving the mandate, but neither side yet has a stable governing majority, and negotiations could stall, leading to another election.
