Following the completion of vote counting, Israeli President Isaac Herzog will begin consultations with party factions next week to determine who will receive the first mandate to form a government. The president will then decide which candidate receives 28 days to attempt to establish a coalition. If the chosen candidate fails, Herzog has the option to transfer the mandate to another candidate or declare that forming a government is not possible.
The vote counting process, which began overnight, is expected to continue until Thursday or Friday due to the large number of double envelopes. After the final results are published, the process of forming the next government, or at least the attempt to do so, will commence, regardless of the options facing the bloc leaders.
