Residents in Tel Aviv expressed cautious optimism after President Isaac Herzog tasked Gadi Eisenkot, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's key rival, with forming a new government. Following an October 27 election that left the nation in a political deadlock, Eisenkot was granted the mandate after securing the most endorsements, notably from Arab party leaders seeking an alternative to Netanyahu's coalition. Eisenkot now has 28 days to build a ruling coalition through complex negotiations, with Netanyahu waiting in the wings should the effort fail.
