Challenges in Government Formation by Gandi Eisenkot
November 8, 2026
Gandi Eisenkot has 28 days to form a new government in Israel, facing complex political negotiations. Prime Minister Netanyahu is close to losing power as neither his bloc nor the opposition has secured a majority. President Isaac Herzog gives Eisenkot the first opportunity, who entered politics in 2022. However, involving Arab parties in the coalition remains uncertain due to existing disagreements. If Eisenkot fails, new elections will be called.
