Israel's president has selected Eisenkot to lead the formation of the country's next government. This decision marks a significant development in Israeli politics, as Eisenkot is a prominent rival to current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The move is seen as a setback for Netanyahu, who was also seeking to form the government. Eisenkot, an opposition candidate, now faces the complex task of building a governing coalition. The process is expected to be challenging, with a potential battle over coalition agreements looming.
Eisenkot's selection indicates an effort to potentially replace Netanyahu as Prime Minister. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
