Israeli president tasks Gadi Eisenkot with forming government
Original: Israeli president picks Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu rival, to form government
Israel's president has selected Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief and rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to attempt to form a new government. The move hands the centrist politician a chance to assemble a governing coalition, a role usually given to a candidate who can secure majority support in the Knesset. The decision escalates the political standoff with Netanyahu, whose long tenure now faces a direct challenge.
Why now: It signals a potential end or major challenge to Netanyahu's rule, a major shift in Israeli politics.
