Eisenkot’s Thin Majority
Gadi Eisenkot received the backing of 67 lawmakers, compared with 46 for Benjamin Netanyahu, but this lead does not guarantee that he can form a government. Only 48 of his supporters are willing to join a coalition together, falling short of the required majority of 61 out of 120. The obstacles include the fact that the Arab parties’ recommendations do not mean they would join the government, Avigdor Lieberman’s refusal to rely on them, and disagreements over conscripting religious men into the army. Although Eisenkot won the round of recommendations, the challenge remains to assemble a cohesive majority. President Isaac Herzog will decide on Sunday whom to task with forming a government.
