Mandate to form government: Eisenkot on his way to the President's Residence

MK Gadi Eisenkot is expected to arrive this evening (Saturday) at the President's Residence for the ceremony to receive the mandate to form a government, as reported by Reshet 13 and Maariv. The move follows the announcement by President Isaac Herzog, against the backdrop of election results that led to a political stalemate.

At the same time, analysts have published assessments regarding the difficulties expected for Eisenkot in the coalition-building process. Maariv reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pursuing a strategy of "stalling," and that Eisenkot must act quickly to overcome the political obstacles in his path. Further details regarding MK Eisenkot's plans for forming a government have not yet been released.
