伊通社（IRNA）發文稱，美國民主黨人掌控美國國會，爲以色列總理內塔尼亞胡受審鋪路。雖然這並不意味着華盛頓將停止支持以色列，但可能使特拉維夫的政治格局面臨新的挑戰。從加大限制軍事援助的壓力、遏制特朗普政府對伊朗的戰爭政策，到進一步批評定居點建設和加沙戰爭，新一屆美國國會已提高內塔尼亞胡政府的政治代價，促使埃森克特成爲以色列總統赫爾佐格組建以色列政府的人選；這一變化也將影響以色列未來的權力格局。

At 1700 local time on the 8th (2300 Beijing), Israeli President Herzog authorised former IDF chief of staff and party leader Eisenkot to form a new government after Eisenkot received 67 Knesset recommendations. The authorisation does not guarantee a parliamentary majority: the Knesset has 120 seats and the coalition threshold is 61. Eisenkot must now negotiate coalition policy and cabinet posts with potential partners. Under Israeli law the authorised lawmaker has 28 days to form a government; the president may extend that period by up to 14 days. If he fails, the president may mandate another lawmaker 28 days to try, without further extension.
