President Yitzhak Herzog continued consultations with various factions on Thursday regarding the formation of a new government. During a meeting with representatives of the Democrats party, a dispute arose when the party's General Director, Omer Lobatin-Granot, posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the President had voted for Likud without disclosing it. Lobatin-Granot's comment was a reaction to Herzog's remarks during the meeting, where he questioned the future of political campaigns once Benjamin Netanyahu leaves the political scene and called for unity. The President's office responded to Lobatin-Granot's post, stating that the Democrats party has repeatedly shown disrespect towards the President. Earlier, the Ra'am party recommended Gadi Eisenkot, while the Otzma Yehudit party recommended Benjamin Netanyahu to form the coalition. During the meeting, Minister of Negev and Galilee Development Yitzhak Wasserlauf expressed distrust in the election results, suggesting that some votes were bought with funds transferred to parties that do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. President Herzog dismissed these claims as mere speculation, stating there was no evidence. The United Torah Judaism bloc did not recommend any candidate, with Yitzhak Goldknopf stating they were not obligated to any bloc. Currently, 23 Knesset members have recommended Eisenkot, and 19 have recommended Netanyahu. The head of Yashar is expected to secure an absolute majority, having received recommendations from all parties in the "change bloc" (48 mandates) and both Arab lists (19 mandates).
