Israel's former military chief Gadi Eisenkot has started the tough task of forming a government, reaching out to Benjamin Netanyahu's allies as he warned the veteran prime minister had brought the country to a historic crisis.

Eisenkot, a political novice, has vowed to bridge Israel's deep polarisation under Netanyahu, and formally received a mandate from President Isaac Herzog, giving him 28 days to form a government despite his bloc lacking a clear majority.
