(Tel Aviv) — Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rival is being given a mandate to form the next Israeli government. Israeli President Isaac Herzog gave that mandate Sunday to Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar Party. Eisenkot is now tasked with assembling the government after no political alliance won a majority in the recent Israeli elections. Eisenkot has the support of over 60 members of the incoming Knesset, including 19 members of the two Arab parties. The former military chief of staff will now have 28 days to form a government with his coalition.
