  "account": "A majority of 67 out of 120 members of the Israeli parliament have expressed support for Gadi Eisenkot as the next Prime Minister. President Izchak Herzog will give the mandate for forming a government on Sunday, and it is likely that Eisenkot, a 66-year-old opposition politician and former military chief, will receive it. Eisenkot has 28 days to form a coalition, with a possible 14-day extension, but faces opposition from outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu, who may try to block the power transfer. If Eisenkot fails, other parliament members can attempt to form a government, and if all attempts fail, the parliament will be dissolved and new elections will be held within 90 days.",
  "summary": "A majority of Knesset members recommend Gadi Eisenkot for the task of forming a government. But the path to the position is rocky. And how far could a change in policy under him actually go?",
