Eisenkot to Receive Mandate to Form Government, President Herzog Announces
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot will be granted the mandate to form a new government by President Isaac Herzog on Sunday. Eisenkot will have 28 days, potentially extendable by 14, to form a coalition. Failure to do so could lead to a second candidate attempting to form a government, followed by a period where 61 MKs can propose a lawmaker. If all efforts fail, the Knesset will be dissolved and new elections will be held.
