Kan: Herzog opposes Eisenkot forming a short-term interim government

Israel ·

Kan reported on Sunday that President Isaac Herzog opposes a short-term interim government, one of the options Gadi Eisenkot is considering as the Knesset member tasked with forming the new government. According to the broadcaster, the president's office wants Eisenkot to use his mandate to build a stable, long-term government rather than a transitional one lasting only a few months.

Israel's president has a mainly ceremonial role; after elections he assigns the task of forming a government to a Knesset member, who then has a set period to do so.
