Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
The B'Yachad party, led by Naftali Bennett, announced it will recommend Gadi Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog as its candidate to form the next government. This comes amid a political deadlock following recent elections, with neither Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition securing a majority. The opposition bloc, including Eisenkot's Yashar party and Arab parties, may collectively recommend Eisenkot, potentially giving him the mandate to form a coalition government.
