Israel President Herzog and His Wife Cast Their Votes, Call for Large Turnout
Herzog said turnout will shape coalition talks as 7,331,981 registered voters choose a new Knesset, with both major blocs projected to fall short.
- On Tuesday, Israel President Isaac Herzog cast his vote in the ongoing election for the 120-member Knesset, as polls opened across Israel for 7,331,981 eligible voters at 7 am local time.
- Challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot centers his opposition campaign on security accountability and demanding an independent commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
- Gathering at Tel Aviv's Hostages Square, families of Nova desert rave victims including Sigal and Yoram Yehudai urged Israelis to vote for parties committed to establishing a state commission of inquiry.
- Securing a governing majority in the 120-seat Knesset requires the winning candidate to build a coalition within 28 days, with a possible 14-day extension if initial efforts stall.
- If coalition efforts fail, a 21-day period allows MKs to assign the task to another lawmaker; otherwise, Israel faces new elections with Netanyahu remaining as caretaker prime minister.
