Political commentator Amit Segal commented on Tuesday evening regarding various election polls indicating that no bloc can form a government, suggesting that Benjamin Netanyahu is unlikely to be the next prime minister. Segal posited that given these results, Izencoat would likely receive the mandate from President Isaac Herzog to form a government. He predicted Izencoat would immediately approach the Likud party, proposing a broad unity government, though Segal believes the Likud would most likely refuse such an offer. Despite the Likud being the largest party, Izencoat is expected to garner more recommendations from Knesset members, leading the president to task him first with the government formation effort.
