President Isaac Herzog announced he will task Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, with forming the next government on Sunday. Political circles estimate that if Eisenkot fails, Herzog will intervene with his full influence to establish a unity government. During consultations with representatives of the elected factions, Eisenkot secured 67 recommendations for the mandate, significantly more than the 46 recommendations received by Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu. The President spoke with party leaders over the weekend in anticipation of the announcement. Until now, Herzog had refrained from stating he would grant Eisenkot the first opportunity to form a government.
