Latest before Herzog announces who will be tasked with forming the Israeli government

Israel ·

The heads of all Israeli parliamentary blocs have submitted their recommendations to President Isaac Herzog on the figure they consider suitable to form the next government, ahead of his announcement of who will be tasked with the job.

In Israel, after an election the president consults the parliamentary blocs and then assigns a member of the Knesset the task of trying to form a government; the presidency is largely ceremonial.
