President Isaac Herzog has commenced discussions with political parties to form a new coalition government following the recent election, which resulted in no clear majority. Herzog emphasized that unrealistic commitments could lead to another election, as neither Prime Minister Netanyahu's bloc nor Gadi Eisenkot's coalition secured enough seats in the Knesset.
