- Herzog accepted Israel’s vote results, opened talks on forming a government and was to meet Israeli election rivals as a decision neared on his path to power.
- Arab parties extended a hand, while The New York Times highlighted who would meet Israel’s president to recommend a prime minister.
Why it matters: By accepting the results and opening talks, Herzog brings Israeli election rivals into the government-formation process, shifting attention from the vote result to negotiations. The separate question of who meets Israel’s president to recommend a prime minister adds an institutional step beyond Herzog’s own bid for power.
