Israel announces new prime minister today: 6 parties support Eisencott; There has never been a single-party government in the country.

President Isaac Herzog will announce today who will be the next Prime Minister of Israel. The support of 61 lawmakers is needed to form the government. The coalition of Gadi Eisenkot has been supported by 67 MPs from 6 parties. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has the support of only 46 MPs. Because of this, it is believed that the President will not give him the first chance to form a government. No party has ever got a majority in Israel. This is the reason why coalition governments have always been formed here. The President said - the MPs are with them, but the parties do not agree President Herzog spoke to the leaders of all the parties elected in Parliament on Thursday. He said that at first glance, the opinion of the MPs is clear, but there is no consensus on many issues between different political groups. According to him, there are also objections between the parties to each other. Therefore, it cannot be decided who can form the government on the basis of the recommendation of the MPs alone. The President said that he will hold talks with the leaders of some parties separately, so that the possibilities of forming the government can be clarified. Six parties suggested Eisenkot's name, but are ready to come together Eisenkot has the support of 67 MPs from six parties. This includes four Jewish parties and two Arab parties. The four Jewish parties have a total of 48 seats, while the two Arab parties have 19 seats. The biggest problem is that three of these six parties are not ready to form a government with Arab parties. Eisencott also refused to include Arab parties in the government before the election. On the other hand, Arab parties say they are supporting Eisencott to remove Netanyahu from power. That is, there are recommendations of 67 MPs in support of Eisencott before the President, but this number is not a guarantee of a coalition government in itself. Learn about the Joint List Coalition This is a political coalition that talks about the rights of Israel's Arab population. It includes three different parties. The coalition includes Arab leaders as well as Jewish leaders. Hadash: There is a left party. Advocating equality for Arab and Jewish citizens, labor rights, and peace with Palestine. Taal: Ahmad Tibi is a party. Supports equal rights for Arab citizens, better opportunities for education and employment, and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Balad: A secular party with Arab nationalist ideology. Advocating for Israel to be a country where all citizens have equal rights. Who supported whom at the presidential meeting? Eisenhower backed no one in support of Netanyahu: A government has to be formed in 42 days, parliament will meet on November 10 The office of president in Israel is usually considered formal, but he has an important role in forming a government after the election. The President invites the leader who has the best chance of getting a majority in the parliament to form the government. For this, they are not obliged to choose the leader who receives the most recommendations. After getting a chance to form the government, the leader is given 28 days. If the government cannot be formed during this time, then the president can give another 14 days. That is, the attempt to form the government has to be completed in a total of 42 days. The first meeting of Israel's new parliament is expected to be held on November 10. If Eisenhower or Netanyahu cannot form the government within the stipulated time, then the president can give a chance to another leader. If all efforts fail, the path to new elections can be opened. Netanyahu's coalition won the most seats in the election. In the election held on October 27, Netanyahu's Likud party became the largest party, winning 27 seats. However, the religious and nationalist parties in the coalition with it won a total of 53 seats. On the other hand, the four parties in the Eisenhower coalition won 48 seats. The coalition is made up of parties from the center to the left and right. Arab parties won a record 19 seats in the election.
