Israel gets a new government soon. President Isaac Herzog makes a big choice. He asks Gadi Eisenkot for help. Eisenkot must build a new government.
Eisenkot leads the party Jaschar. He is a former chief of the army. He opposes Benjamin Netanjahu. Netanjahu leads the current government. But he loses the majority in parliament.
There was an election on 27 October. No one had enough votes. It was a tie. Many politicians support Eisenkot now. 67 of 120 politicians want him.
Eisenkot has 28 days now. He must find partners for his government. He gets 14 extra days if he needs them. He wants to talk to religious parties. This is new in Israel.
