Urgent: The President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog, tasked the leader of the opposition bloc, Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main opponent, with forming the next government. Eisenkot is a former IDF chief of staff who sat in Netanyahu's war cabinet during the Gaza genocide. He is also known as the architect of the fading doctrine, which calls for the destruction of entire civilian neighborhoods, as Israel did in Lebanon fading in the 2006 war.
