The Times of Israel's liveblog reports that after Benjamin Netanyahu lost his majority in the October 27 election, President Isaac Herzog will task Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government on November 8, giving him 28 days, while Netanyahu, who won 46 premiership recommendations to Eisenkot's 67, instead calls for a national unity government and warns an Arab-backed one would destroy Israel. The blog also covers Likud's planned appeal over alleged voter-turnout tracking, protests against Shin Bet chief David Zini in Tel Aviv, and reports of explosions on Iran's Qeshm Island.
