Eisenkot in govt talks
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a new government, after 67 members of the Knesset recommended him, compared with 46 who backed Benjamin Netanyahu’s continued rule—a result that could pave the way for Netanyahu’s departure. Eisenkot has 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension, to form a coalition that wins the confidence of at least 61 of the Knesset’s 120 members. His task is complicated by opposition parties’ refusal to cooperate with Arab parties and by a dispute over exempting students at religious seminaries from military service. Netanyahu will continue to head the caretaker government until an alternative government wins the Knesset’s confidence. If negotiations fail, another lawmaker could be asked to form a government, or early elections could be called.
