Eisenkot mulls coalition options
Israeli President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot on Sunday with forming a government after the October 27 election left neither bloc with a majority. Eisenkot’s bloc holds 48 seats, compared with 53 for Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc; 61 of the 120 seats are needed for a majority. Eisenkot is considering three options: a minority government backed by Arab parties, bringing ultra-Orthodox parties into the coalition, or forming a unity government with Netanyahu. The options are complicated by disagreements over including Arab parties and the military service law. Eisenkot has 28 days to form a government, with the possibility of a 14-day extension. If negotiations fail, another candidate could be tasked with forming a government, or new elections could be held.
