It will be the diverse opposition grouping's first meeting since last week's close-fought election delivered no majority for either camp.
Eisenkot's Yashar party said the leaders of the so-called change bloc would meet "to discuss coordinating the bloc's next steps" in Herzliya on Tuesday morning.
Eisenkot's bloc won 48 seats while Netanyahu's camp secured 53, of which 27 are from his Likud party. Arab-majority lists won a record 19 seats in the 120-member parliament, making them potential kingmakers.
