President of Israel Isaac Herzog announced Saturday evening that he will task Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, with forming the next government. The announcement comes after a period of political maneuvering and coalition negotiations. Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, will now have the mandate to attempt to build a coalition that can command a majority in the Knesset. The process of forming a government can be lengthy and complex, involving negotiations between parties over ministerial portfolios and policy agreements. If Eisenkot succeeds, he will become the next Prime Minister. If he fails, the mandate could potentially be returned to the President, who may then task another individual or send the matter back to the Knesset.
