Gadi Eisenkot has the opportunity to replace Netanyahu as Israel's leader, but his majority relies on negotiations with ultra-Orthodox parties regarding mandatory military service. Eisenkot's appointment alters the political negotiation landscape, potentially impacting Israel's relations with the U.S., Arab states, and Iran. Despite receiving 67 recommendations from Knesset members, Eisenkot's support remains contingent on agreements with various factions, particularly concerning military service exemptions for religious students. Netanyahu, still in power until a new government is formed, has proposed a unity government, rejecting reliance on Arab parties. Eisenkot's coalition options include a minority government supported externally or a broader coalition with significant parliamentary backing.
