Eisenkot Wins Mandate
Avigdor Lieberman announced that he would recommend to President Isaac Herzog that Gadi Eisenkot be tasked with forming the government. He rejected joining a Benjamin Netanyahu government, even if offered a rotation in the premiership. Eisenkot is therefore expected to receive the backing of 67 lawmakers, compared with 46 for Netanyahu, after the United Torah Judaism party refrained from nominating either of them. However, the Arab parties’ participation in the government remains disputed. Herzog is scheduled to announce his choice on November 11, with the Knesset’s first session to be held the previous day. The person tasked with forming the government will have 28 days to do so, with a possible 14-day extension.
