Israel's largest Arab party, the Joint List, announced on Thursday that it decided unanimously to recommend the Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot to Israel's President Isaac Herzog as the country's next prime minister.
"The Joint List announced today, Thursday, that it will inform the President of the State, Isaac Herzog, this evening of its decision to recommend that Gadi Eisenkot be tasked with forming the government," the party said in a statement.
Following the elections, the Joint List won 11 seats in the next Knesset, which would bring the number of the Knesset members supporting Eisenkot to 67, over the 61-seat majority threshold. However, the Arab party's recommendation for Eisenkot as the prime minister does not necessarily mean that the party will ultimately join his coalition.
