Story summary

As of November 9, 2026, Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the center-right Yashar party, was appointed by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to form a new government in Israel after inconclusive election results failed to produce a clear majority coalition. This development is seen as a significant setback for incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Joint List, an alliance of Arab parties, has indicated it would support an opposition-led government but not join the cabinet. Meanwhile, Netanyahu continues to advocate for a unity government that could keep him in power, despite Eisenkot receiving the mandate. Israel's Central Elections Committee stated that any findings of foreign interference would not affect the election results' validity, and the Shin Bet security agency is investigating alleged funding irregularities involving Arab-Israeli party Raam.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
