Netanyahu's best rival for the Prime Ministership in the Israeli media reports that the 67 members of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, asked the President of Israel to give Gadi Eisenkot the task of forming the government. In this case, Netanyahu's opponent will get his first chance to form a government. The elections in Israel ended with none of the coalitions being able to obtain a majority in parliament, and thus Netanyahu and Eisenkot are facing difficult days to form a government. According to Israeli law, the head of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog, is obliged to consult with the party leaders about who they want as prime minister after the elections, and then choose the candidate who he believes has the best chance of forming the cabinet. Herzog's chosen candidate has up to 42 days to form a cabinet, but if he loses, others will have a chance to form a cabinet.
