Summary
The announcement doesn't guarantee that Eisenkot, a former army chief, will become the next prime minister. He has up to six weeks to form a coalition government by securing alliances, a daunting challenge because the Oct. 27 election gave neither his bloc nor Netanyahu's a clear majority in parliament.
