Netanyahu's Power Test
Benjamin Netanyahu faces a decisive political test after Gadi Eisenkot was tasked with forming a government. Within Likud, there are fears of losing power, while Netanyahu is trying to prevent the ultra-Orthodox parties from joining his rival. Eisenkot has 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension, to secure a coalition backed by 61 lawmakers. Netanyahu’s camp holds 53 seats, while Eisenkot has received the endorsements of 67 lawmakers—though these do not guarantee a stable government. Netanyahu could return to the opposition or leave politics altogether. His prospects of returning will depend on the balance of power in parliament, his corruption trial, and the fate of the proposed “Defendant Law,” which could bar someone accused of serious crimes from being tasked with forming a government after a new election.
