TEL AVIV (Voice of Russia): After the recent elections in Israel, the chances of Benjamin Netanyahu becoming prime minister again have become extremely low.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu’s ally party United Torah Judaism has refused to support any candidate for the premiership. The party is angry over the failure to pass a law exempting conservative students from military service.<\/p>\n
According to United Torah Judaism, the party’s representatives did not propose any candidate’s name during consultations with the Israeli president, while support for any future government will be conditional on the military service exemption law.<\/p>\n
The Arab political alliance Joint List, which won 11 seats in the elections, and the Arab party Ra’am, which won 8 seats, have announced their support for Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yeshar Party.<\/p>\n
Ra’am chief Mansour Abbas says he supported Gadi Eisenkot for government formation because, in his view, it is possible for Eisenkot to form a government.<\/p>\n
The Joint List has also announced that it will propose Gadi Eisenkot’s name to Israeli President Isaac Herzog for the next prime minister.<\/p>\n
After this development, Gadi Eisenkot is likely to get the support of 67 members of the Knesset, which is more than the majority of 61 members required for government formation.<\/p>\n
According to Israeli media, observers say this decision by the parties supporting Eisenkot does not necessarily mean they will also join the governing coalition in the end.<\/p>\n
According to the Joint List, all three of its factions unanimously took this decision in response to the public demand to prevent Netanyahu and his government from returning to power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
