🔸 Yitzhak Herzog, Israel's captive president, announced on Saturday, November 7, that he would entrust the task of forming the new government in this country to Gadi Eisenkot, the leader of the opposition and Benjamin Netanyahu's bitter opponent.
The implementation of this decision, which commentators call a "blow" to Netanyahu's faction, the prime minister's prisoner, will officially take place on Sunday.
🔸 Herzog announced on Saturday that after consulting with all the parties involved in last week's elections, he decided to give Eisenkot the first chance to form a government.
If Eisenkot fails to form a government on time, then Netanyahu will be given an opportunity to try to form a new government, an opportunity that experts say Netanyahu is counting on due to his opponent's lack of experience in government work. 🔸 The announcement of the final results of the elections for the captive parliament on the evening of Thursday, November 7, showed that the political deadlock continued in this country and neither of the two main factions was able to obtain the necessary majority to form the government.
