RZP, Shas Recommend Netanyahu in Mandate Talks with Herzog, Yisrael Beytenu Backs Eisenkot
- On Wednesday, Yisrael Beytenu recommended Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government during consultations with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the Residence regarding the 26th Knesset.
- Election results showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc secured 53 seats, while the opposition bloc won 48; Eisenkot could reach 67 total seats if the Arab parties' 19 seats support him.
- The Religious Zionist Party, Shas, and Zehut recommended Netanyahu, while the Arab parties, Naftali Bennett, and Yair Golan supported Eisenkot; United Torah Judaism declined to recommend any candidate.
- President Isaac Herzog previously urged leaders to demonstrate flexibility in coalition negotiations to avoid another election; consultations continued Wednesday despite a security alert at the Residence involving Jerusalem District police.
- Consultations are set to conclude on Thursday evening; by law, Herzog must consult Knesset factions before deciding who receives the mandate, with unity or minority governments remaining possible outcomes.
