Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, has tapped opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form a new government. Eisenkot, a former military chief who ran against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, did not win a clear majority, and neither did Netanyahu. Representatives from most of Israel’s main parties recommended Eisenkot for the task. He now has 28 days to assemble a governing coalition. It remains unclear whether Eisenkot can secure enough partners within the allotted time or what the final coalition composition will look like.
