If this second round were also to fail, then the Knesset can request a third candidate be given a go. They would have 14 days to complete the task.<\/p>\n<p>If all attempts fail, another election is called.<\/p>\n<p>Eisenkot, a former military chief, has vowed to &#8220;do everything&#8221; to form a

The president is able to extend this by a maximum of 14 days if necessary.Should that fail, the president can give a second leader the chance to form a government, this time with a maximum deadline of 28 days. If this second round were also to fail, then the Knesset can request a third candidate be given a go. They would have 14 days to complete the task.If all attempts fail, another election is called.Eisenkot, a former military chief, has vowed to &#8220;do everything&#8221; to form a new government.Both Eisenkot and Netanyahu&#8217;s blocs fell well short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset in the recent elections.Netanyahu&#8217;s camp finished on 53 seats, while the opposition, led by the Yashar party, ended on 48.Netanyahu&#8217;s right-wing Likud party remained the largest party, with 27 seats, while the Arab parties secured a record 19 seats between them.It comes after Netanyahu called on Saturday for the formation of a national unity government.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/08\/netanyahu-rival-eisenkot-to-be-tasked-with-forming-new-government-following-israeli-electi&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/42\/77\/1200x675_cmsv2_cacaa2c9-8b72-54f0-8972-3f0359bbbcbf-9984277.jpg&#8221;] Senegal At least 21 dead after migrant boat capsizes off Senegal: authorities Lifestyle GPGH 2026: Rexhep Rexhepi wins top prize at &#8216;Oscars of watchmaking&#8217; Europe News What we know about the Krakow shooting that left six people dead Art Fjord Oslo: Norway\u2019s capital celebrates peace at light art fe News World Israel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2244293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2244293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2244293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2244293\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2244293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2244293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2244293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
