Jerusalem (EFE).- The left-wing Joint List coalition recommended on Thursday that Israeli President Isaac Herzog should task opposition figure Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government.
The coalition attributed the recommendation «not out of love» for the candidate but to the «continued incitement» of Arab citizens by the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
With the alliance’s 11 seats not factored into the projections, Eisenkot, of the right-wing Yashar! (Straight!) party, could secure up to 67 recommendations, compared to the 46 that Netanyahu is expected to receive.
