Netanyahu is suddenly calling for UNITY, and Gadi Eisenkot isn't buying a word of it. Israel's opposition leader has hit back at the outgoing prime minister, accusing him of spending years dividing the country and only discovering the importance of unity now that he could lose power. And Eisenkot has a specific offer. If Netanyahu genuinely wants a broad government, Likud can DUMP its far-right allies, accept Eisenkot's four core principles and join a government led by Eisenkot himself. Those principles include mandatory national service for all Israelis and dismantling Hamas's military and governing power. Until then, Eisenkot calls Netanyahu's unity appeal “pathetic political spin.” Eisenkot has secured recommendations from 67 lawmakers, but assembling an actual governing coalition remains complicated. Netanyahu is offering unity. Eisenkot is offering him a place in government, just NOT as prime minister. That's quite a negotiating position. Source: Yediot News / Writer: Oliver

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. Source: Yediot News / Writer: Oliver
