Eisenkot’s Leadership Bid
President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming the government after he received the recommendation of 67 lawmakers. The law gives him 28 days, with the possibility of a two-week extension. Eisenkot takes a hard line on security, including opposing the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state. He instead proposes Palestinian self-rule under Israeli security control, and says Gaza must be disarmed before it can be rebuilt. His efforts to form a government face obstacles related to the positions of potential coalition partners and the need for parliamentary support. His domestic pledges include protecting the judiciary and limiting the prime minister’s tenure to eight years.
