Israeli Arab parties endorse Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister ahead of President Herzog's selection
Israel's Arab-majority parties, led by Joint List chairman Yousef Jabareen, endorsed Gadi Eisenkot to form a government over Benjamin Netanyahu, giving Eisenkot 67 Knesset recommendations to Netanyahu's 46. President Isaac Herzog must select a candidate by Nov. 11. The endorsement was unenthusiastic, with Arab leaders describing the choice as between 'bad and even worse'.
