Israel, no majority after the vote: the ball to Herzog

Resumen del corpus

Following the recent elections, no single bloc achieved a majority in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc securing 53 seats and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot having 48. The Arab parties could significantly impact the outcome, potentially reaching 19 seats, which, combined with the opposition, could total 67. A political majority requires uncertain agreements, with the President, Isaac Herzog, set to initiate consultations to avoid new elections. Israel remains under a transitional government retaining security powers, and an investigation into suspected foreign interference is underway.
