Israel's newly elected parliament, the Knesset, was sworn in on Tuesday, 10 November. Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has received a mandate to form a government and is now trying to assemble a governing coalition. Whether he succeeds will determine who leads the country next.
The swearing-in comes two weeks after an election in which the bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lost ground. As a result, the authority to form a government has gone to an opposition politician.
The source gives no further details on how the coalition talks will proceed. France 24 is also covering the events in a live report.
