BREAKING: Netanyahu has been DENIED the first chance to form Israel's next government.
President Isaac Herzog has officially selected Gadi Eisenkot, Netanyahu's main rival, to try to build a governing coalition.
The formal ceremony is scheduled for Sunday at 5 p.m. in Jerusalem.
And the numbers explain why.
Eisenkot received recommendations from 67 lawmakers, compared with just 46 for Netanyahu.
He'll now have 28 days to put together a government, with a possible two-week extension.
But there's a rather significant catch.
Those 67 endorsements don't mean Eisenkot actually has 67 lawmakers willing to sit in the SAME government. Several potential coalition partners are refusing to work with one another.
So Netanyahu hasn't lost the premiership just yet.
But after years in power, he's now watching his biggest rival get the first opportunity to replace him.
And for once, Netanyahu isn't the one holding the mandate.
