Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to announce on Sunday who will be nominated to form the next government, a decision that could significantly impact the political landscape in the country. Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of staff, has gained considerable support from various parties, including Arab lawmakers, which positions him as a strong challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose hold on power is weakening. The political scene is marked by a coalition struggle as Eisenkot has secured backing from 67 members of the Knesset but has yet to be officially acknowledged to form a government. Meanwhile, Netanyahu faces increasing pressure as allies, particularly from the ultra-Orthodox community, begin to withdraw their support. The upcoming announcement will be closely watched as it could pave the way for an unprecedented shift in leadership amid ongoing talks regarding coalition formations and the broader implications of recent elections.
