Huge setback for Netanyahu: Herzog picks Eisenkot to form govt as Trump delays nuclear war on Iran? | Videos
Hindustan Times ·
President Isaac Herzog has selected Gadi Eisenkot to try to form Israel’s next government after parties representing 67 lawmakers recommended him, compared with 46 for Benjamin Netanyahu. The decision gives Eisenkot the first opportunity—not a guaranteed coalition—and leaves Netanyahu pursuing a unity-government proposal. Separately, reports say Netanyahu has pressed for renewed U.S. strikes on Iran while Donald Trump has continued to give diplomacy more time. | Videos
