Story summary

As of November 8, 2026, Israel's President Isaac Herzog appointed Gadi Eisenkot to attempt forming a new government following inconclusive elections where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition lost its majority. The Joint List, an Arab Israeli party, has offered support for the opposition-led government but will not join the cabinet. Meanwhile, the Shin Bet security agency is investigating alleged foreign funding in Raam, another Arab-Israeli party, though the Central Elections Committee stated on November 1 that such inquiries would not undermine election results. Eisenkot faces a complex negotiation process to build a coalition, involving parties from across the political spectrum including anti-Netanyahu factions and the Joint List with 8 seats.
