Israel's President Meets Party Leaders Amid Election Division and Fraud Claims

President Isaac Herzog began meetings with party leaders to decide who will form a government following Israel's deeply polarised post-election outcome.

Herzog accepted certified election results as valid, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims of vote fraud and foreign interference.

Arab-majority party Raam endorsed rival Gadi Eisenkot, who vowed to deepen the U.S.-Israel partnership and work with President Donald Trump.
