Israel's election commission has confirmed the final results of the October 27 vote, which resulted in Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition losing its governing majority. The commission dismissed allegations of widespread fraud and foreign interference, stating that no evidence of irregularities was found. Meanwhile, the attorney general blocked a request from the Shin Bet security service to interrogate politicians from Palestinian-led parties due to a lack of evidence.
President Isaac Herzog received the election results and condemned recent racist attacks against Palestinian citizens, who participated in the election at historic levels. He is expected to designate Gadi Eisenkot as the first candidate to form a new government, amid ongoing tensions regarding the legitimacy of the election results and Netanyahu's attempts to undermine them.
Watch for President Herzog's imminent announcement on Gadi Eisenkot's coalition-building efforts. The political landscape may shift as Palestinian-led parties align against Netanyahu, while ongoing tensions could spark further unrest. Monitor reactions from both sides.
