'Israeli' President Isaac Herzog says he will announce on Sunday which lawmaker he will task with forming the next government, following consultations with political parties after the recent election.

Herzog says 67 lawmakers recommended opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, compared with 46 who backed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while seven abstained.

Despite Eisenkot receiving more recommendations, Herzog says questions remain over the ability to form a governing coalition.
