Eisenkot Leads Support
Isaac Herzog will continue consultations until next Sunday before choosing whom to task with forming a government. Gadi Eisenkot received the recommendation of 67 lawmakers, compared with 46 for Benjamin Netanyahu, while seven lawmakers declined to nominate anyone. Eisenkot faces difficulties in building a coalition because of disagreements over rotating the premiership, legislation on conscripting Haredim, and the possibility of relying on support from Arab party lists. A national-unity government or a minority government remain options, but both face sharp party divisions. If negotiations stall, the mandate could be reassigned or early elections could be called.
