Gadi Eisenkot to Receive Mandate to Form Government
Published
Gadi Eisenkot will receive the mandate to form a government from the President of the State tomorrow. According to the published figures, 67 Knesset members recommended Eisenkot, while 46 recommended Benjamin Netanyahu. The mandate gives the candidate the opportunity to try to build a coalition and establish a new government.
In Israel, the President usually appoints the candidate whom the largest number of Knesset members recommended. The recommendations are conveyed to the President after consultations with the Knesset factions. The candidate who receives the mandate must check whether they have the support of a majority of Knesset members in order to win the confidence of the Knesset. Normally they have 28 days to do so, and an extension of an additional 14 days may be requested.
The political situation in Israel is complex, and there is still no agreement on all issues between the parties. Various factions need to reach understandings on important matters, such as the state budget, military service, and the government's agenda. If Eisenkot fails to build a coalition, the mandate will be transferred to another candidate.
The coming weeks will be important for Eisenkot and for the parties that support him. The public in Israel will continue to follow the political negotiations and the decisions that will be made in the Knesset.
