No matter how much Binyamin Netanyahu tried to hold on to the position of Prime Minister, the opposition was given carte blanche to form a new government. This was reported by Israeli media. The President of Israel, Yitzhak Herzog, directed the head of the Ishar party in the opposition, Gadi Eisenkot, who was Netanyahu's main opponent, to form a new government. The mandate will be presented to Eisenkot today, November 8, at the house of the President of Israel. According to the Israeli press, the opposition candidate was supported by 67 Knesset members, while Netanyahu received only 46.
