Gadi Eisenkot is expected to begin forming Israel's next government after receiving more lawmaker recommendations than Benjamin Netanyahu. President Isaac Herzog will formally assign the task, likely on Sunday, initiating coalition talks. Eisenkot faces four potential paths, including a minority government with ultra-Orthodox and Arab support, or a narrow 48-seat government. A unity government with Netanyahu is deemed unlikely, and the most probable outcome is Eisenkot's failure, leading the mandate to pass to Netanyahu.
