Jerusalem:Israeli President Isaac Herzog has officially tasked Gadi Eizenkot, the leader of the "Yashar" party, with the responsibility of forming a new government.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, this decision was made after Eizenkot secured recommendations from 67 Knesset members, surpassing the 46 recommendations received by Netanyahu.
This move follows consultations held by Herzog to evaluate the prospects of the candidates and address the divisions among the parties. Despite Eizenkot's advantage in recommendations, the process of forming a governing coalition has faced ongoing challenges.
