Quick Summary

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Israeli President Isaac Herzog appointed Gadi Eisenkot to form a new government after the October 27 elections failed to produce a clear majority. In his statement, Eisenkot expressed openness to including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Religious Zionist Party in his coalition but emphasized that he would lead the government based on principles he presented. This move follows six weeks of negotiations for Eisenkot to secure support from various parties, including Arab-led groups which gained significant representation in the recent elections.

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.
