Opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu is one thing; enough parliamentary support to replace him is another. That is the question at the center of a broadcast from India's Hindi-language news channel NDTV India, which asks whether Gadi Eisenkot faces a political obstacle before he can take an oath of office.
The program's description puts Arab-led parties at the heart of the coalition arithmetic. It presents their parliamentary influence as a key factor in the prospects of the anti-Netanyahu camp, while asking whether Eisenkot can become prime minister. Those are questions about forming a government, not an announcement that he has taken power.
Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, was Netanyahu's main challenger in the October 27 election. A former military chief, he led the Israel Defense Forces from 2015 to 2019 and later served in the unity government. Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister.
Israeli voters elect a parliament rather than directly choosing a prime minister. The practical issue is therefore which parties will support a government, not simply which politician leads the opposition. The broadcast's focus is the distance between bringing Netanyahu's opponents together and securing support for an Eisenkot administration.
