Herzog to Task PM Candidate After Eisenkot Wins Knesset Support
Israeli President Herzog announced he will assign a prime minister candidate on Sunday following Gadi Eisenkot's recommendation by 67 of 120 Knesset members. Eisenkot, backed by two Arab parties including the Joint List, defeated Netanyahu with a 67-46 vote. Despite this support, forming a government remains challenging. Palestinian voters influenced Netanyahu's political calculations.
