Bennett supported Eisenkot's leadership of the government Naftali Bennett, former Prime Minister of Israel and leader of the "Baham" party, announced that his party would propose to the President of Israel to transfer the responsibility for forming the future government to Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Ishar" party. Bennett's party emphasized in the announcement that he promised during the election campaign to respect the decision of the voters and now he is fulfilling this commitment. In the last Knesset elections, Eisenkot's party won 21 seats, while Bennett's party won 12 seats. However, the formation of the new government still needs the support of a majority of 61 seats in the parliament./Jamaran.
