Israel has an election. Now the country needs a new government. President Izchak Herzog talks to many people. He wants a stable government for the country.
Izchak Herzog decides on Sunday. He tells who forms the government. The politician Gadi Eisenkot gets 67 votes. Benjamin Netanjahu gets 46 votes.
A party needs 61 votes in the parliament. The parliament in Israel is the Knesset. Gadi Eisenkot is the favorite now. He is a former chief of the army.
Arab parties support Gadi Eisenkot too. This is new in Israel. A party of strict religious Jews does not vote. This makes Benjamin Netanjahu weak.
The chosen person has 28 days. A new government must start in this time. If this fails, the president asks another person.
