Israeli general election results confirmed despite Netanyahu's resignation; talks begin on forming a government, opposition party likely to lead negotiations

[Cairo Current Affairs] On the 4th, the Israeli Election Commission submitted the final results of the general election held on October 27th (120-member parliament) to President Herzog, and discussions between the president and each party regarding the formation of a government have begun. Mr. Herzog will gather the opinions of each party and request that the person with the highest chance of forming a government form the government by the 11th.

The confirmed results are the same as the voting results announced earlier by the election board. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party was the largest party, winning 53 seats. Yashar, the opposition party led by former military chief of staff Eisenkot, has become the second largest party, and the Jewish opposition bloc has 48 seats. Two Arab parties made great strides, gaining 19 seats.

Mr. Herzog met with minority parties from both the ruling and opposition parties on the 4th. These parties recommended Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Eisenkot for prime minister.

Two Arab parties that advocate Netanyahu's resignation are expected to support Eisenkot. In this case, since the anti-Netanyahu bloc, which is a combination of Jewish opposition parties and Arab parties, will have the most power with a total of 67 seats, it is possible that Eisenkot will receive a request to form a government and lead coalition negotiations.
