Israel faces a political crisis following the October 27 elections, where neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot secured a majority to form a government. Eisenkot has support from 67 parliamentarians but refuses to collaborate with Arab parties, complicating coalition-building. President Herzog will decide on November 8 who will attempt to form a government. The election results left the Knesset divided, with Netanyahu's Likud party holding 27 seats and Eisenkot's opposition controlling 48. The Arab parties, with a historic 19 mandates, could play a crucial role but have differing stances on coalition participation. Several scenarios for government formation exist, including a minority government or new elections if negotiations fail.
