After Israel's October 27 election left no clear majority, President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar party to form a coalition. Eisenkot invited opponent Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and far-right ally Bezalel Smotrich to join a broad national emergency unity government. Neither bloc won a 61-seat majority in the 120-seat Knesset, with Eisenkot's alliance at 48 seats and Netanyahu's bloc at 53. Eisenkot ruled out Arab-led parties, making Netanyahu's inclusion key to a majority.
