Original: Israel’s Herzog accepts vote results, opens talks on forming a government | Israel Election 2026 News | Al Jazeera https
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has formally accepted the results of the 2026 election and begun consultations on forming a new government. The move is reported to deal a blow to Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to remain in power, as the president's decision shapes which party leader is first tasked with building a governing coalition.
Why now: The president's decision weakens Netanyahu's path to staying in office, making it a turning point in coalition negotiations.
