Israeli opposition unites behind Eisenkot as Netanyahu says voters chose him for PM
Israel's opposition is on Tuesday due to meet for the first time since last week's closely contested election in which neither Gadi Eisenkot's change bloc nor incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing alliance managed to win a majority in the Knesset. All parties in Eisenkot's camp have endorsed him to be the next prime minister, but the hot-button issue will be whether to unite with the Arab parties who made surprise gains in the vote.
