Eisenkot moves closer to leading Israel after securing Knesset majority

Israeli opposition leader Eisenkot is moving closer to becoming the country's next leader, with his Yashar party-backed coalition securing an absolute majority in the Knesset with support from Arab political factions. The parliamentary majority positions Eisenkot to potentially form a new government, marking a significant shift in Israel's political landscape. The coalition's success reflects broad cross-party alignment against the current administration. The development follows ongoing political instability in Israel, with the opposition uniting diverse factions to challenge the existing government. Final leadership confirmation depends on subsequent formal procedures in the Knesset.
