Herzog calls for avoiding a new election round

Israel ·

Israeli President Isaac Herzog stressed the need to make every possible effort to avoid new elections, after preliminary results showed that neither main bloc won a majority of Knesset seats. Herzog is tasked with identifying the candidate who will be asked to form the next government.

Israel's Knesset has 120 seats, and a bloc needs at least 61 seats for a majority. The president has a mostly ceremonial role but formally tasks a lawmaker with trying to form a government after an election.
