Five Israeli opposition party leaders agreed to recommend former military chief Gadi Eisenkot to President Isaac Herzog as prime minister and said their negotiating teams would begin drafting coalition agreements. The bloc still lacks a Knesset majority and remains divided over relying on Arab-led parties.
