The Hindu - International · world

Gadi Eisenkot has emerged as the leading candidate to form Israel's next government, following a crucial religious party's decision not to recommend Benjamin Netanyahu. President Isaac Herzog is consulting with political parties after the recent election, where neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot secured a parliamentary majority. United Torah Judaism, a long-time Netanyahu ally, stated it would not recommend any candidate, impacting Netanyahu's bid to challenge the election results. This development signifies a potential shift in Israeli political leadership amidst national unity calls.
