Eisenkot on the path to forming a cabinet; Is the Netanyahu era over? Eisenkot now has a maximum of 42 days to form a new coalition cabinet by attracting the attention of various parties. After Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition was defeated in the Israeli parliamentary elections and lost its majority, the regime's president, Isaac Herzog, tasked Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff of the Israeli army and current leader of the "Yashar" party, with forming a new cabinet. The support of Arab parties with 19 Knesset seats has paved the way for Eisenkot to oust Netanyahu; but the deep differences between the opposition parties and the troubles of attracting the attention of allies pose serious challenges to forming a new cabinet. @TasnimNews
[UPDATE] Netanyahu's rival appointed to form cabinet Israeli media announced a few minutes ago that Israeli President Isaac Herzog has appointed Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party and Netanyahu's electoral rival, to form a cabinet. isna.ir/xdXq5K
@isna94 [in reply to: Israeli President: I will introduce the person in charge of forming the cabinet on Sunday Israeli President Isaac Herzog: The person in charge of forming the cabinet will be officially introduced next Sunday. Al-Taibi, head of the Joint Arab List, told Al Jazeera:
We are choosing between a bad option and a less bad option, and we have introduced Gadi Eisenkot to remove Netanyahu. Eisenkot must be brave and respect the results of the Arab vote. Leave it. isna.ir/xdXpyJ

Who are the Haredim and how did they become such a significant force in the battle to form an Israeli government? Who are the Haredim? Ultra-Orthodox Jews who make up about 13 percent of Israel's population, represented by the Shas and United Torah Judaism parties. What are their demands? Exemption of yeshiva students from military service and preservation of funding for religious and educational institutions. What is their weight in the Knesset? The two parties hold 13 seats, and their joining Eisenkot's bloc would increase his tally from 48 to 61 seats, allowing for the formation of a government without Arab parties. Why is the opposition counting on them? Its leaders have shown openness to attracting the two Haredi parties from Netanyahu's bloc instead of relying on the votes of Arab members of parliament. What is the obstacle? Eisenkot stipulates military or alternative service for all, while the Haredim insist on exempting yeshiva students from conscription. What is the position of the two parties? Shas announced its support for Netanyahu and recommended that he be tasked with forming the government, while United Torah Judaism has not yet decided its position. More details
Eisenkot excludes United Torah Judaism from Netanyahu's bloc for the first time: "From third, he is a transitional prime minister who has the support of only 46 MKs"
Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of Yashar! With Eisenkot, in a statement: "We will act quickly. We have two goals: the establishment of a national emergency government and the implementation of steps in the Knesset - the election of a new speaker, important legislation and the repeal of laws that endanger democracy." "Remember: As of Tuesday, Benjamin Netanyahu is a caretaker prime minister with the support of only forty-six Knesset members. Likud and Netanyahu know that we are determined. That is why they continue to cast doubt on and sabotage the true results of the elections. This is their last resort." "The coming days will be full of false and ugly spin and briefings. Anyone who thinks they can bring about change is not properly appreciating our determination."
Between Arab rejection and Shas's support for Netanyahu: How will Eisenkot extricate himself from the government impasse? Eisenkot is counting on winning over the two ultra-Orthodox parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism, to form a government without relying on Arab members of parliament. The two parties joining would increase his bloc's seats from 48 to 61, whereas the participation of either one alone would not be enough. However, Shas has declared its support for Netanyahu, while United Torah Judaism has not yet decided its position. Eisenkot faces a dilemma between his allies' commitments regarding the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jews and his need for their votes to reach power. More details in the following report

Religious Zionism also announced: We will recommend Netanyahu to form the government; This morning: Prime Minister and Chairman of United Torah Judaism spoke
Israeli Broadcasting Authority on Shas party: We will recommend to the president that Netanyahu be tasked with forming the government. #Breaking #Here_is_the_Kingdom
*Shas Movement in a statement:* In light of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's clear and uncompromising announcement of his continued support and commitment to regulating the status of Torah scholars, the Shas Council of Torah Scholars has decided to recommend him to the President of the State as a candidate to form the government. The hypocrisy of the left-wing parties is blatant, after they led an unprecedented campaign of slander, defamation, and persecution against the Haredi sector and Torah scholars, who are the bedrock of the existence of the Jewish people.
Shas' recommendation of Netanyahu is a predictable event The interesting question: Is Shas closing the door to an Eisenkot-Haredi government and taking this possibility off the table? For now, it is not doing that
Shas: We will recommend Netanyahu as a candidate to form the government

What is this event about?
Parliamentary elections to elect the 26th Knesset are scheduled to take place on October 27, 2026.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed political party or electoral list is included in the first Israeli government formed after the 2026 Knesset election. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
This market may resolve once the composition of the first Israeli government following the 2026 Knesset election is officially confirmed and that government has formally taken office.
The government is considered formed when the newly elected Knesset approves the government in a vote of confidence. A party is considered part of the government if it provides at least one Minister, including the Prime Minister. Parties that merely support the government (e.g., through confidence-and-supply arrangements, parliamentary support agreements, or similar) without holding a Minister post will not qualify.
If no government is formed, or the results are not known definitively by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".
This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve based on official information from the Government of Israel and the Knesset.
