Center-leftNeutral tone
Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, received the first mandate to form Israel's next government from President Isaac Herzog. Eisenkot's strategy may involve Arab parties, but Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu, opposes this and is reportedly seeking a coalition with ultra-Orthodox parties. Lieberman's stance could hinder Eisenkot's efforts, while Naftali Bennett watches for potential shifts. Lieberman also met with business leaders on Saturday.
