Israeli President Isaac Herzog has announced that he will task MK Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government this Sunday, as reported by the BBC and The Media Line. The decision follows last week's election, in which neither the bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor that of his rivals managed to secure a parliamentary majority. Further details regarding the formation process or the prospective coalition composition have not yet been released.
