Israel’s president is due to begin consultations with political parties after an election deadlock left the country facing the possibility of another vote.
The discussions are expected to involve the parties represented in the political system as efforts continue to determine whether a governing arrangement can be formed. The supplied information does not specify when the consultations will begin or provide details of the election result.
President Isaac Herzog warned politicians that “not every commitment and promise can be fulfilled” if they want to avoid another election. His comments point to the need for parties to consider compromises as they seek a way through the impasse.
The consultations will indicate whether the parties can reach an agreement or whether the deadlock will lead to a further election. No outcome from the discussions has yet been provided.
