The Israeli president on Saturday tasked Gadi Eisenkot, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's main opponent, with trying to form a new government. This mission, which will be officially entrusted by President Isaac Herzog on Sunday, promises to be difficult: the 66-year-old former general will in fact have the difficult task of rallying a minimum of 61 deputies in a fractured political landscape, like the country. Details from Stéphane Amar, France 24 correspondent in Jerusalem.
