Israel is facing a political impasse - Netanyahu has a serious opponent for the position of Prime Minister Israel's President, Yitzhak Herzog, will announce on November 8 who will be tasked with forming the new government. According to the results of the consultations with the political parties, the head of the Yasr party in the opposition, Gadi Eisenkot, received the most support - his candidacy was supported by 67 deputies out of 120. 46 MPs spoke in favor of the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and seven more abstained. At the same time, Netanyahu's Likud party took first place in the elections, receiving 27 mandates, but together with its allies it only has 53 votes - less than the 61 needed for a majority. The opposition camp is also unable to form a stable coalition: its differences of opinion concern both cooperation with Arab parties and the issue of recruiting Orthodox Jews into the army. After the announcement of the candidate, he will be given 28 days to form a government, with the possibility of an extension of another two weeks. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the right to assemble a cabinet will be transferred to another deputy. If all negotiations fail within 90 days, the country will face new elections. Until the new government is sworn in, Netanyahu will remain head of the cabinet.
