baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

President Isaac Herzog began consultations to form Israel's next government, with the ultra-Orthodox Degel HaTorah faction announcing it will not recommend a prime minister. While several parties back Benjamin Netanyahu, a bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot is expected to receive the mandate. During meetings, Herzog questioned party stances on Arab parties and election integrity. Yisrael Beytenu confirmed support for Eisenkot, citing strategic reasons for excluding certain factions. Eisenkot is projected to have more recommendations, but faces coalition-building challenges.
