  "summary": "The Joint List, an alliance of Arab political factions in Israel, announced Thursday that it will formally recommend opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog to form the next government. According to the Hindustan Times - World News, this support could allow Eisenkot to secure recommendations from 67 members of the 120-member Knesset, placing him ahead of incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. France 24 notes that the Arab-majority lists won a record 19 seats in the recent election. The Hindustan Times - World News also reports that the Ra’am party stated it would recommend Eisenkot.\n\nDuring consultations with President Herzog, Joint List chairman Prof. Yousef Jabareen accused Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir of engaging in ongoing incitement against Arab citizens. Arutz Sheva - Israel National News reports that Jabareen stated similar comments directed at Jews in Europe would be considered antisemitic. Jabareen also claimed that the Prime Minister's son wrote that Arab citizens would carry out the next October 7. Addressing the President, Jabareen stated that such remarks cannot be ignored and expressed an expectation for greater involvement from the President.",
