Eisenkot was entrusted with forming Israel's new cabinet.
After the end of the consultations, the President of Israel officially announced that he would transfer the formation of the next cabinet to Gadi Eisenkot.
Eisenkot has 28 days to reach an agreement with the parties to form the cabinet.
Benjamin Netanyahu asked to form one cabinet in order to survive in the prime minister's chair, but the rival party led by Eisenkot rejected this request.
Yair Golan, head of the Democratic Party of this regime, also called for the removal of Netanyahu's cabinet and the establishment of a "government of change".
