Briefings

Israeli President Isaac Herzog appointed ex-military chief Gadi Eisenkot to lead negotiations for a coalition government on Sunday evening. However, Eisenkot's absence of a parliamentary majority makes forming a coalition with the country's fragmented minor parties a difficult task.

Key points

• Gadi Eisenkot, Israel's ex-military chief, was appointed by President Isaac Herzog to lead coalition negotiations.
• Eisenkot's lack of a clear parliamentary majority complicates forming a coalition with the country's divided minor parties.

Context

This appointment occurred in late 2026, shortly after the Israeli government's formation. The timing is critical as the coalition must be formed before the end of the parliamentary term.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to the appointment announcement and does not detail the coalition's composition, the specific challenges of forming a majority, or the timeline for negotiations.
