A BBC News article reports that Israeli President Isaac Herzog will task opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot with forming a coalition government after neither Eisenkot's bloc nor Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's won a Knesset majority, giving Eisenkot 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension. Eisenkot wrote on X, "Now is the time to form a national emergency government," pledging to "do everything to ensure we are worthy."
