Israel’s president gives Gadi Eisenkot first shot to form government | DW News

Israeli President Isaac Herzog says he'll give opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot the first chance to form a government. That puts him a step closer to unseating his rival, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But it won't be easy. Neither Netanyahu's bloc nor Eisenkot's won a majority in last month's election, leaving Arab-led parties potentially holding the balance of power. Any deal is likely to require compromises that could anger voters on all sides. DW Jerusalem Correspondent Emily Gordine ran through Eisenkot's complicated options with host Jared Reed.
