Israel's coalition talks
Israeli President Isaac Herzog began two days of consultations to select someone to form a government, after an election in which no bloc won the 61 seats needed for a majority in the Knesset. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc secured 53 seats, compared with 48 for Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc. Herzog called for exhausting all options and exploring new ideas to avoid another election. Eisenkot could reach a majority with the support of the Arab parties, which won 19 seats, though cooperation with them faces reservations. The person tasked with forming a government will have 28 days to do so, with a possible 14-day extension. If subsequent attempts fail, Israel may head to another election.
