Eisenkot apela a un Gobierno de “emergencia nacional” ante la “necesidad urgente de un nuevo liderazgo” en Israel

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has officially tasked Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the centrist Yashar party, with forming the next government. Arutz Sheva - Israel National News reported that 67 MKs recommended Eisenkot for the role. Following the announcement, Eisenkot stated he is committed to establishing a national emergency government, noting that the country is in a state of emergency that precludes an endless cycle of elections.

According to Global News, the October 27 election left neither Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor Eisenkot with a clear parliamentary majority. Eisenkot has set specific conditions for parties to join his coalition, which include supporting Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, supporting its declaration of independence, performing military or national service, and recognizing Hamas as a terrorist organization.

DW News reports that Eisenkot has 28 days to secure a coalition to replace the current religious-nationalist government, though the President has the authority to extend this mandate by 14 days. President Herzog noted that Eisenkot received the clearest support from the majority of Knesset members and emphasized the need for a stable government to address regional challenges involving Iran, Lebanon, and a 20-point plan in Gaza.
