Eisenkot, 66, the leader of the Yashar party, who has vowed to bridge Israel’s deep polarisation under Netanyahu, formally received a mandate from the president, Isaac Herzog, who gave him 28 days to form a government despite his bloc lacking a clear majority.(66岁的艾森科特是“正直党”领袖，誓言弥合内塔尼亚胡治下以色列的深刻极化。他正式从总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格手中接过组阁授权，尽管其阵营缺乏明显多数，总统仍给他28天时间组建政府。)

“We are in a state of emergency, approaching a point of no return for the state of Israel,” said Eisenkot, who had traded his usual all black for a suit and tie at a ceremony at the presidential office.(“我们处于紧急状态，正逼近以色列国的不可逆转临界点，”艾森科特在总统府仪式上说。他一改平日全黑装束，换上西装领带。) “We must form a national emergency government. This will require creative and unconventional(非常规的；打破惯例的) political steps.”
