Yitzhak Herzog, the president of Israel, announced that he would appoint Gadi Eisenkot, head of the "Ishar" party, to form the future government of this country. Eisenkot, who won the support of 67 Knesset members, has 28 days to form a new government. This decision was announced at a time when Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, asked his opposition parties to cooperate with his coalition to form a national unity government. The Office of the President of Israel announced that the official ceremony of the transfer of the mission of the government train to Eisenkot will be held at the President's Residence in Jerusalem on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. Herzog informed Eisenkot of his decision on Saturday, November 7, after separate conversations with Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu and consultation with various political parties. During the president's consultations with the representatives of the political parties last week, Eisenkot won the support of 67 members of the Knesset for prime minister, while 46 members of parliament supported Netanyahu. Eisenkot will have 28 days to form the government after receiving the official mandate. If he cannot assemble the government within this period, he can ask Herzog to add another 14 days to this deadline. At the same time as these developments, Netanyahu asked the parties of the so-called "change" bloc to cooperate with the parties of his current coalition to establish a national unity government. In a message that warned against forming a government with the participation of Arab parties, Netanyahu called them "supporters of terror" and said that such a government would destroy the country.
