Murad Vaisi, Iran International's senior analyst, said: "Netanyahu will remain in power until the new government is formed, and Eisenkot has 42 days to form a cabinet; in case of failure, it will be Netanyahu's turn, and if he fails, repeat elections will be ahead of us."
He added: "The possibility of establishing a national unity government has decreased, but is not ruled out, and it is not yet clear who will be the next prime minister of Israel."
