Heavy blow for Netanyahu, his rival is charged with forming the new government

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has entrusted opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot with the mandate to form a new government, Israeli media report.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, is trying to obstruct this process. In recent years, Netanyahu has become a highly controversial figure on the international stage.

He faces charges of war crimes in Gaza and an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.

He is also on trial for corruption in Israel. In Europe, one of the rare exceptions to his diplomatic isolation has been Viktor Orbán's Hungary, where Netanyahu has been received in a demonstrative manner.

Netanyahu has rejected the possibility of a government supported by Arab parties. Eisenkot has 28 days to try to create a parliamentary majority.
