Herzog Begins Coalition Consultations as Netanyahu and Eisenkot Compete to Form Government President Isaac Herzog has begun consultations with Israel's newly elected Knesset factions to determine who will receive the first mandate to form a government. After receiving the certified election results, Herzog urged political leaders to compromise, warning that not every campaign promise could be fulfilled if Israel is to avoid another election. The final results give Netanyahu's bloc 53 seats, Eisenkot's 48 and the Arab parties 19. Neither major bloc has secured the 61 seats required for a majority. Likud, Shas, Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism are expected to recommend Netanyahu, giving him 46 endorsements. United Torah Judaism, with seven seats, has not yet committed. Eisenkot is expected to receive 48 recommendations from Yashar, B'Yachad, the Democrats and Yisrael Beiteinu, potentially positioning him to receive the first mandate. Herzog has emphasized his broad discretion in selecting a candidate. He is not required to choose the leader of the largest party or bloc, but must assess who has the strongest prospect of forming a government. A second round of consultations remains possible. Netanyahu's path to power remains open but challenging. Even with UTJ's support, his bloc would need eight additional seats to reach a majority. Eisenkot faces a different obstacle: his existing 48-seat bloc would need 13 more seats, while several potential coalition partners have ruled out cooperation with Arab parties. Herzog is expected to assign the first mandate between Friday and Tuesday. The selected candidate will have 28 days to form a government, with a possible 14-day extension. Receiving the first mandate does not guarantee victory. If the first candidate fails, another lawmaker could receive an opportunity to form a coalition. With neither bloc holding a majority, Herzog's decision will determine who gets the first opportunity, but the ultimate outcome will depend on coalition negotiations. A unity government, minority government or another election remain possible.
