NPR reports that Israeli President Isaac Herzog has tapped Benjamin Netanyahu's main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, to try to form the next government after Netanyahu's Likud won the most seats — 27 — but fell short of a majority in the 120-seat parliament. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief of staff who leads the centrist Yashar party, has 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension, to secure 61 seats; if he fails, another lawmaker could get the mandate or Israel could face another election, with Netanyahu remaining caretaker prime minister meanwhile.
