Foreign journalist detained at the entrance of the Israeli presidential office, explosives experts summoned

Israel ·

Israeli security forces detained a foreign journalist during a security check at the entrance of the presidential office after a suspicion that material was inside her equipment, and police explosives experts were called to the site. The detention came shortly before President Isaac Herzog began the first round of consultations with the parties that won Knesset seats on forming the next government, according to the Ma'an news agency.

Israel's president is a largely ceremonial head of state, while the prime minister leads the government. After Knesset elections, the president holds consultations with the parties to determine who is best placed to form a coalition government.
