  "account": "TEL AVIV: Gadi Eisenkot, the opposition candidate, announced on Wednesday that the Israeli people had chosen change after years of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rule. Eisenkot stated to his supporters that he would attempt to form a new government. However, he issued a cautionary remark to Netanyahu, urging him not to exploit Israel's security for political gains. The exit polls indicated that Eisenkot's opposition bloc narrowly led over Netanyahu's right-wing bloc, with neither party achieving a majority. Eisenkot expressed that the election results reflected a clear rejection of Netanyahu's continued leadership. He emphasized that in an election with such high voter turnout, it would be a mistake to initiate another round of elections.",
  "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.",
