The Shas party leadership has decided to recommend that President Yitzhak Herzog task Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu with forming the next Israeli government. This decision comes as political maneuvering intensifies following recent elections. Meanwhile, Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman announced his recommendation for Gadi Eisenkot. Earlier, Netanyahu voiced support for Shas leader Arie Deri, whom the party blames for electoral setbacks. Netanyahu commented on potential coalition talks between Shas and Eisenkot, stating, "For many years, Arie Deri has stood like a rock against the unrestrained attempts by the media and the left to destroy Shas. With hypocrisy that cries out to heaven, they promise the ultra-Orthodox everything under the sun so that they will join them. Arie Deri and Shas are important partners, both mine and of the right-wing camp. As a cabinet member, Deri made a significant contribution to Israel's security."
