What’s next for Israel as Eisenkot tapped to lead government?

Описание: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suffered a political blow — one that could see him lose power, as Israel's president has given opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot the first chance to form a coalition government.

In a press conference with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem on Sunday, Eisenkot said, "There is a great urgency for new leadership; leadership that people can look in the eye and trust, knowing that its considerations will always be guided by what is best for Israel and Israel’s security."

Eisenkot, a former military chief, has 28 days to try to negotiate a government with opposition parties.

Israeli's reacted to the President's decision, voicing cautious optimism.

Guy Perry, a hi-tech worker from Tel Aviv, said the move "portrays the choice of the people... A huge majority of the people are for removing Netanyahu and for allowing Eisenkot and his support to form the government."

Netanyahu, who has served 18 years in power, lost his coalition's majority mandate in elections last month.
