ISRAELI President Isaac Herzog on Sunday formally taskedYashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot with forming a Government after he secured recommendations from 67 of the 120 elected members of the Parliament, compared with 46 for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eisenkot, a former chief of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), has 28 days to form a Government and secure the approval of the Knesset -- Israel’s Parliament. He may seek an additional 14-day extension from Herzog. The October 27 elections, seen as a referendum on Netanyahu’s leadership, produced no clear majority but divided the political landscape into two competing blocs, with the antiNetanyahu alliance recommending Eisenkot.
