Overview
Israel’s post-election government formation has entered a decisive phase: the main Arab party grouping says it will recommend opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, while neither Eisenkot’s nor Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc has secured a clear route to a majority. President Isaac Herzog is due to meet both rivals before deciding who should first attempt to form a government.

Why now
- The Arab party grouping announced its recommendation on Thursday.
- Herzog is due to meet Netanyahu and Eisenkot before deciding who should try to form a government first.
Why it matters
- The recommendation gives Eisenkot potential support from Arab-majority parties in efforts to form a government.
- The election produced no clear governing bloc, leaving the next coalition unresolved.
Evidence assessment
Recurring claims
- Israel’s main Arab party grouping said it would recommend Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government.
- Arab-majority lists won 19 seats in the 120-seat parliament in the election.
- Neither the Netanyahu nor Eisenkot bloc secured a clear pathway to power, and Herzog is set to meet both rivals.
