Al Jazeera profiles Gadi Eisenkot, the former military chief of staff tasked by President Isaac Herzog with forming a government after Israel's elections left no majority, tracing his rise, the deaths of his son and nephews in Gaza, and his authorship of the Dahiyeh Doctrine alongside UN findings of possible war crimes under his command. The outlet assesses he is unlikely to secure a majority, weighing possible support from ultra-Orthodox and Arab parties, Israel's damaged US standing, and observers' views that his appeal rests more on what he is not than on what he offers Palestinians.
