Gadi Eisenkot is expected to receive the mandate to form Israel's next government, but Avigdor Liberman is pursuing an independent strategy, seeking to form a 61-seat coalition with Haredi parties and rejecting a minority government backed by Arab parties. Liberman's actions are creating a potential clash with Eisenkot's plans. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a national unity government. Eisenkot must decide between his original minority government plan or concessions to form a Haredi-backed coalition.
