Quick Summary

Naftali Bennett's 'B’Yachad' faction has endorsed Gadi Eisenkot for the position of forming Israel’s next government after the recent Knesset elections on October 27, 2026. In a post on X, Bennett announced his decision based on respecting voter choices. This move follows President Isaac Herzog's call for political leaders to accept election results and work towards resolving the current deadlock, as no single bloc secured a clear majority in the 120-member Knesset. The opposition currently holds 67 seats against the incumbent coalition’s 53, complicating efforts to form a new government.

Story summary

As of November 3, 2026, Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, has received backing from opposition leaders in Israel to form a new government following inconclusive elections on October 27. The five-party coalition includes support from Naftali Bennett's 'B’Yachad' faction and Arab parties, which collectively hold 48 seats out of the 120-seat Knesset, aiming to prevent another election and unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who secured 53 seats. Meeting in Herzliya on November 3, the leaders agreed to recommend Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog for forming a government, with negotiations focusing on policy guidelines and coalition agreements. Arab parties are seen as pivotal due to their 19 seats, though disagreements persist over potential alliances.
