Netanyahu calls for unity government in first since election, warns of 'coalitions with Islamists'

Israel’s president has chosen Gadi Eisenkot, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s strongest rival, to try to form a new government following a deadlocked election.

On social media, the president offered the now-vacant job of White House press secretary to Dana White, the organization’s C.E.O., and told him to bring along fighters as aides.

Israel's president has announced he will task Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government following last week's election, in what Benjamin Netanyahu's rivals see as a first step to remove the country's longest-serving prime minister.

National's Mike Butterick was the incumbent for the Wairarapa seat, but it's close.
