Crowd singing along to national anthem STORYLINE: Crowds of protesters came out in rainy weather late on Saturday in Tel Aviv to rally against a Benjamin Netanyahu-led majority in the new Israeli government. Just as the rally ended, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he's giving opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot the first opportunity to form a governing coalition following elections on Oct. 27. Eisenkot, a former military chief, ran as the main challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leading a bloc of parties seeking to oust Israel’s longest-serving premier. Neither Eisenkot nor Netanyahu won a clear majority in the vote. But in marathon discussions with the president this week, representatives from most of Israel’s main parties recommended Eisenkot be tasked with assembling a new government. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
