  "account": "TEL AVIV: Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot declared on Wednesday that Israel had chosen change following years of governance under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to attempt forming a new government. During a speech to his supporters, Eisenkot delivered a subtle caution to Netanyahu, urging him not to exploit Israel's security concerns for political gain. \"Netanyahu, do not you dare use Israel's security for your political needs,\" Eisenkot warned. Exit polls indicated that Eisenkot's opposition bloc had narrowly outpaced Netanyahu's right-wing coalition in Tuesday's election, but neither party had secured a majority. \"The people have spoken against the continuation of Netanyahu's rule,\" Eisenkot proclaimed. He added that given the high voter turnout, a second attempt at elections would be unwise.",
  "summary": "Opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot issued a warning to Benjamin Netanyahu against using a potential attack on Iran in an effort to delay coalition talks.",
