Following the 26th Knesset elections, Israeli President Isaac Herzog will begin consultations to assign the mandate for forming a government. The chosen candidate has 28 days, potentially extendable to 42, to build a coalition. If unsuccessful, a second candidate gets 28 days, and if that fails, a 21-day period allows Knesset members to propose a leader. Failure to form a government will result in new elections.
