以色列正直黨領導人埃森科特：我們的失敗將對以色列的未來構成重大風險。

At 1700 local time on the 8th (2300 Beijing), Israeli President Herzog authorised former IDF chief of staff and party leader Eisenkot to form a new government after Eisenkot received 67 Knesset recommendations. The authorisation does not guarantee a parliamentary majority: the Knesset has 120 seats and the coalition threshold is 61. Eisenkot must now negotiate coalition policy and cabinet posts with potential partners. Under Israeli law the authorised lawmaker has 28 days to form a government; the president may extend that period by up to 14 days. If he fails, the president may mandate another lawmaker 28 days to try, without further extension.
