RT by @mikenov: 🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: Netanyahu is one step closer to losing power as Israel prepares to hand his rival Gadi Eisenkot the chance to form a government. President Isaac Herzog is set to announce his decision on Sunday, after Eisenkot secured the backing of 67 lawmakers compared with just 46 for Netanyahu. That’s a 21-seat advantage. But there’s a problem: Eisenkot’s supporters are deeply divided over who should actually sit in his government. And despite calling for national unity, Netanyahu has little support from opposition parties willing to govern alongside him. Eisenkot has the endorsements. Now he needs a coalition.
