Experts say Gadi Eisenkot’s hopes of replacing Benjamin Netanyahu depend on his willingness to work with Palestinian parties. Police rejected Likud’s claims that parties representing Palestinian citizens of Israel stole the election; a police source said no investigative or intelligence evidence supported the allegations.
