Israel: Herzog will assign one of two candidates to form a government next Sunday. The consultations ended with blocs holding 67 mandates recommending Gadi Eisenkots for head of the Ishr Eisenkot party, blocs holding 46 recommending Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, and 7 members of Torah Judaism did not recommend any candidate. Eisenkot said he wants the mandate as soon as possible and called Netanyahu a transitional prime minister who has the support of only 46 members of the Knesset.
