Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, announced on Sunday that he will recommend former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government. Lieberman stated his intention during a press conference, signaling a potential shift in the political landscape.

Lieberman's endorsement comes as political parties are engaged in coalition-building efforts following recent elections. The decision to back Eisenkot, a prominent figure with extensive military experience, suggests a focus on national security and stability as key priorities for the incoming administration.

Eisenkot, who served as the 21st Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces from 2015 to 2019, is widely respected for his strategic leadership. His potential candidacy for prime minister, backed by Lieberman, could influence the ongoing coalition negotiations and the formation of a new government.
