Israeli President Selects Netanyahu Rival Gadi Eisenkot to Form New Government

Israel’s President Isaac Herzog has selected former military chief and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to try to form the country’s next government, creating a major political challenge for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The decision follows a closely contested election that left political parties negotiating over possible coalition arrangements. Eisenkot, a former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff, will need to secure sufficient support in parliament to build a governing majority. The outcome could influence Israel’s domestic policies, relations with regional partners and approach to the ongoing Middle East security crisis. The coalition negotiations will be closely watched by international markets and governments concerned about regional stability.
