🇮🇱⚡️ — Israeli President Isaac Herzog has officially tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a new government, expressing hope that the incoming leadership will help heal the country's deep political divisions. Accepting the mandate, Eisenkot warned that Israel faces a critical moment, with the objectives of the war still unfulfilled, a severe political crisis at home and growing concerns among international allies about their relationship with Israel. He also warned that politicians obstructing the formation of a government for personal reasons would be remembered as having failed Israel during a national crisis. "I want to return the country to sanity," Eisenkot declared.
