Israeli opposition leaders have united around former military chief Gadi Eisenkot as their candidate to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Al Jazeera English. The opposition has pledged to form a government swiftly, though the coalition remains fractured over core policy questions.
The fragmented opposition bloc continues to disagree on whether to include Arab-led parties in any future governing coalition, a central sticking point that could determine the viability of alternative government arrangements.
