Eisenkot, who ran as Netanyahu’s main rival, has six weeks to form a new সরকার. At the ceremony, Eisenkot said he will act in the interests of the public and represent all parts of Israeli society.। Herzog, meanwhile, warned that the country faced uncertainties after the November 3 midterm elections in the যুক্তরাষ্ট্র, which brought victories for several political figures critical of ইসরায়েল and the US’s military support.। “The State of ইসরায়েল needs a stable সরকার,” Herzog said, pointing to the “new political reality” in the US.।

Eisenkot led ইসরায়েল’s military from 2015 to 2019 and sat as an observer in Netanyahu’s war cabinet for the first eight months of ইসরায়েল’s genocidal war on গাজা, which began in October 2023.। Despite this, Arab-led parties endorsed Eisenkot for the mandate to replace Netanyahu.। In ইসরায়েল’s October 27 elections, Eisenkot’s four-party alliance won 48 seats, while Netanyahu’s right-wing and religious bloc secured 53, leaving both short of the 61 needed for a parliamentary majority. Arab-led parties, representing Palestinian citizens of ইসরায়েল, won a record 19 seats.।

Eisenkot has ruled out forming a সরকার with the Arab-led parties, which would give him a 67-seat bloc. Winning over the two ultra-Orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism and Shas, would give him exactly 61 seats.। He could also form a সরকার with fewer than 61 seats if he wins a parliamentary confidence vote.। “Netanyahu still has time to derail Gadi Eisenkot’s efforts to form a সরকার and sabotage attempts to gain a vote of confidence,” said Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.।

“In the meantime, he remains caretaker প্রধানমন্ত্রী. If Eisenkot fails, Netanyahu would be the natural second in line to be tasked with forming a সরকার. And if he fails, elections would then be called, and that would still allow Netanyahu to remain as caretaker.। “Many of Netanyahu’s critics say that is his aim. The big question in Israeli politics now is: does the opposition really want to get rid of Netanyahu। Or is the opposition to Palestinian Israelis in mainstream politics so strong that they’re willing to risk keeping Netanyahu in power by going back to the ballot box।
