Israel is about to take a big step in forming its new government. On Sunday, President Isaac Herzog is set to name the person he wants to lead the country.
This is a major move because Israel has been waiting to see who will be in charge. While names are being tossed around, the President has the final say on who gets the chance to put a team together.
There is a lot of talk about the numbers in parliament. For example, some reports mention that Gadi Eisenkot has the support of 67 seats, which is more than half of the parliament. However, there are still rules and steps to follow before he or anyone else is officially cleared to take the lead.
At the same time, the political scene remains very active. We are seeing some unusual shifts, including a veteran Arab lawmaker who has signaled they might be willing to break with tradition to help unseat current leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
It is a busy and complicated time for Israeli politics. Everyone is watching Sunday’s announcement closely to see who will be asked to form the next government and whether they can actually pull it off.
