So he's not too busy to go to jail now?

With who? They've sworn not to work with the Arab parties, and they're in opposition to Netanyahu's coalition. Which parties could actually join them to form a government?
IG he could try to broker a deal or to convince some poeple to switch sides... Or this is a trap
Pure guessing here - but I think it takes a majority of the parliament to decide to dissolve?
So even if Eisenkot doesn't create a coalition with the Palestinian parties (using "Arab" is Israel's way of denying Palestinian identity), my guess is that the Palestinian parties would still vote against dissolving parliament, and Eisenkot can carry on.
Ooh the politicians have sworn something, let me grab my wallet then.
"try to form government" is like euphemism for coup d'état.
this is what coalition govt do, several european country have this type, and india too.
What do you mean by that? This sounds like a by-the-books procedural step
"President Herzog has invited Gadi Eisenkot to the President’s Residence, where he will be tasked with forming the government tomorrow," said the spokesperson of President Isaac Herzog, whose largely ceremonial role involves nominating a candidate to form a coalition after elections.
How exactly does Israel's govt work? I though Net&Yahoo was in charge 🤔
They just had an election and his party failed to make a majority. He lost
I gathered that. But what's the difference between the president and prime minister?
The President is an apolitical ceremonial role whose entire Job is to oversee the government processes and facilitate elections and such. The prime minister is the actual head of state. After an election when a new parliament forms the president selects the legislator they think has the highest chance of forming a majority coalition to back them. This is the “forming a government phase”. Since Isreal is a multiparty system nonparty will have majority power so the legislator trying to form a government will have to make concessions on various agenda items to get enough other parties to back them to form a majority coalition. If they fail to do so within the time limit the president will pick someone else.
