Eisenkot seeks Israeli government after deadlock
Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot has begun efforts to form a national government following a deadlocked election. President Isaac Herzog tasked Eisenkot with building a coalition after neither side secured a parliamentary majority.
Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot started a 28-day window on Sunday to form a wide government after an inconclusive election left both him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu short of a parliamentary majority. The deadlocked vote left political parties scrambling for coalition partners amid heightened domestic and regional tensions. Eisenkot faces narrow pathways to power as financial markets and political observers monitor coalition talks in Israel.
