Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
President Isaac Herzog is calling on Israeli political parties to avoid new elections following inconclusive results that have left no bloc with a governing majority. With 93% of votes counted, Netanyahu's bloc leads with 53 seats, followed by Eisenkot's bloc with 48. Herzog will begin formal consultations next week after receiving official results, and will then assign the mandate to form a government to the candidate he believes has the best chance of success.
