Israel Election Impasse: Possible Scenarios for Forming a Government

The recent elections held in Israel did not yield a clear winner, while uncertainties in the government formation process continue. Benjamin Netanyahu continues to serve as interim prime minister, and the opposition majority in parliament along with potential scenarios are being evaluated to overcome the political crisis.

The elections held in Israel this week resulted in an undecided outcome, and no clear winner capable of forming a government emerged. While Netanyahu performs his duties as interim prime minister, President Isaac Herzog will begin consultations with party representatives after the official final election results are announced next week. Herzog will appoint the candidate he deems most likely to succeed in forming a government. The process has a legal timeframe of approximately 100 days, and if no result is achieved within this period, a new election will be necessary. In a statement on Wednesday, Herzog stated that everything must be done to avoid a new election.
