With most votes counted from Israel's latest election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and rival Gadi Eisenkot are locked in a political stalemate, Al-Monitor reported. Neither faction appears able to form a governing majority independently, leaving the two leaders without a clear path forward.
US President Trump may be the only force capable of breaking the impasse by pressuring both Netanyahu and Eisenkot to form a unity government, according to the report. Such intervention could reshape Israel's political landscape by forcing cooperation between the longtime antagonists.
