Herzog begins coalition talks; "Any election tampering to be investigated"

President Isaac Herzog officially received the results of the 26th Knesset elections today (Wednesday). As reported by the Jerusalem Post and Srugim, the President has begun the legally mandated consultation process with Knesset factions before tasking a candidate with forming a government. During the receipt of the results, Herzog addressed concerns regarding election integrity, stating that any suspicion of subversive external influence on the outcome must be fully investigated by the Shin Bet and the police.

Further details regarding the timeline for the completion of this process have not yet been released.
