Israel's President Herzog has tasked former army chief Aisencot with forming a new government, facing a choice between sharing power with Netanyahu, partnering with Arab parties, or negotiating with ultra‑rightist factions.
Following Israel’s recent elections, the process of forming a new government has accelerated. President Isaac Herzog has appointed former army chief Benny Aisencot to lead the task of assembling a cabinet.
Aisencot now faces a pivotal decision: he could share executive power with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, seek support from Arab parties to secure a majority, or negotiate with ultra‑rightist factions that have gained seats.
Each option carries significant political implications. A coalition with Netanyahu would maintain continuity, while a partnership with Arab parties could broaden representation. Negotiating with right‑wing groups risks polarizing the electorate.
The outcome of Aisencot’s decision will shape Israel’s policy direction and its approach to regional and domestic challenges.
