Trump seeks Eisenkot govt
A report by Al-Monitor said that prominent figures in Donald Trump’s administration are urging Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form a government quickly and oust Benjamin Netanyahu, who is now seen in Trump’s circle as a political liability. Eisenkot was tasked with forming a government after 67 of the 120 lawmakers endorsed his nomination. He has 28 days to do so, with the possibility of a 14-day extension. However, Avigdor Lieberman rejects a government that relies on support from Arab parties, despite their holding 19 seats. If Eisenkot fails, President Isaac Herzog could give Netanyahu the mandate for 28 days. If Netanyahu also fails, the matter goes to the Knesset, and new elections may be held if no candidate secures the support of 61 lawmakers.
