Israeli media: Eisenkot has a better chance of receiving the task of forming the government Israel's Channel 13 reported that the president of this regime, Yitzhak Herzog, is expected to appoint Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Isher party, to form a government in the first stage. According to this report, Herzog will likely entrust the task of forming the government to the candidate who receives the most recommendations from the parties in the first round of consultations, and therefore, Eisenkot's chances of receiving this task are estimated to be higher. Channel 13 added that if the task is given to Eisenkot, he will be able to take the initiative in the Knesset and its organizing committee and actually begin the process of forming the government. It was also published in the "Haaretz" newspaper that Eisenkot is expected to be appointed to form the government next week.
