以色列宗教锡安主义党和沙斯党周三建议总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格授权总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡组建下一届政府，而以色列我们的家园党则推荐反对党“以色列正直党”领袖加迪·艾森科特，据《新消息报》报道。
Israel’s Religious Zionism and Shas parties recommended Wednesday that President Isaac Herzog task Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with forming the next government, while Yisrael Beiteinu recommended opposition Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported.
该日报报道，拉阿姆党，即由曼苏尔·阿巴斯领导的联合阿拉伯名单，决定在周四与赫尔佐格会晤前推荐艾森科特。
Ra’am, also known as the United Arab List led by Mansour Abbas, decided to recommend Eisenkot ahead of its meeting with Herzog on Thursday, the daily reported.
超正统派（哈雷迪）犹太教托拉联盟将不推荐任何候选人，该报称。
The ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) United Torah Judaism alliance will refrain from recommending any candidate, said the newspaper.
在收到10月27日议会选举官方结果后，赫尔佐格在耶路撒冷总统官邸开始与议会派系进行磋商。
Herzog opened consultations with parliamentary factions at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem after receiving the official results of the Oct. 27 parliamentary election.
由财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里奇领导的宗教锡安主义党代表团首个会见赫尔佐格。由议员奥里特·斯特鲁克率领的代表团推荐内塔尼亚胡。
A delegation from Religious Zionism, the party led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, was the first to meet Herzog. The delegation, led by lawmaker Orit Strock, recommended Netanyahu.

Representatives of the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Shas party, led by Aryeh Deri, also backed Netanyahu. Shas lawmaker Yinon Azulay defended his party’s opposition to drafting students at Jewish religious seminaries during the meeting.
由阿维格多·利伯曼领导的以色列我们的家园党推荐艾森科特。其议员奥德德·福雷尔告诉赫尔佐格，该党将反对加入一个依赖阿拉伯政党支持的政府。
Yisrael Beiteinu, led by Avigdor Lieberman, recommended Eisenkot. Its lawmaker Oded Forer told Herzog that the party would oppose joining a government that depended on support from Arab parties.
据该报报道，福雷尔说：“不可能指望我们坐在一个将依赖那些不愿承认哈马斯为恐怖组织的政党的政府里。”
“It is impossible to expect us to sit in a government that would be dependent on parties that are unwilling to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization,” said Forer, according to the newspaper.
由优素福·贾巴林领导的联合名单议员奥费尔·卡西夫告诉阿纳多卢通讯社，该联盟在周四会见赫尔佐格时很可能会推荐艾森科特。他说，联盟仍在讨论其立场。
Ofer Cassif, a lawmaker from the Joint List, led by Yousef Jabareen, told Anadolu that the alliance would likely recommend Eisenkot when it meets Herzog on Thursday. He said the alliance was still discussing its position.
内塔尼亚胡的联盟在120席的以色列议会（Knesset）中赢得53席，包括联合犹太教拉比托的7席；与埃森科特（Eisenkot）结盟的反对党阵营赢得48席。阿拉伯联合名单（Joint List）获得11席，Ra'am获得8席。组建政府需要61个席位。
Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, including United Torah Judaism’s seven, while opposition parties aligned with Eisenkot won 48. The Arab Joint List secured 11 seats and Ra’am won eight. A parliamentary majority requires 61 seats.
如果联合名单和Ra'am加入48席的反对阵营推荐埃森科特，拥有67席的派系将支持他组阁。这些派系是否支持由埃森科特领导的政府，取决于后续谈判的结果。
If the Joint List and Ra’am join the 48-seat opposition bloc in recommending Eisenkot, factions holding 67 seats would back him for the mandate. Whether those factions would support an Eisenkot-led government would depend on subsequent negotiations.
赫茨格（Herzog）将在磋商后决定指派谁组建政府。被指派的议员有28天时间组建政府，并可延长最多14天。
Herzog will decide whom to task with forming a government after the consultations. The lawmaker he selects will have 28 days to form a government, with a possible extension of up to 14 days.
