Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the control center of the Central Election Committee at the Knesset on Tuesday. He was welcomed by the committee's president, Judge Noam Sohlberg. The two men toured the various departments and spoke with the teams working to monitor the progress of the elections for the 26th Knesset. The center consolidates reports from the field and provides an overview of the national situation to coordinate responses to needs and incidents at polling stations.
"Election day is not an ordinary day; it is a celebration," stated Noam Sohlberg. "We do not hide our disagreements. Polarization exists, and everyone has the right to their opinions." The judge emphasized the importance of the vote as a democratic expression, saying, "To date, no better solution than elections has been found. Everyone can fully express their point of view there."
Sohlberg added that the results would be presented to the president in one week, predicting they would reflect "the will of the voters" and constitute "our strength as a nation."
