Gadi Eisenkot has obtained enough parliamentary backing to claim a majority for forming a new Israeli cabinet. Despite his advantage, the Israeli president has postponed any public declaration about the next prime minister. The Likud party is exerting intense pressure on the process, urging the creation of a national‑unity government. Likud also demands that Benjamin Netanyahu be removed from his current position. Eisenkot’s supporters argue that his coalition can ensure stability amid the political deadlock. Observers note that the president’s hesitation may affect the timeline for establishing the new administration.
