Herzog: We must avoid further elections While it is expected that no decisive results will be achieved in the elections in Israel, the president of this country, Yitzhak Herzog, said: "We must make every effort to avoid another round of elections." After the official election results are announced next week, it is the president's duty to ask the leader who he believes has the best chance of forming a government to do so. "Yesterday was a truly impressive election day, with the highest turnout in decades," Mr. Herzog said in a statement. This is a source of pride for the Israeli community. "It was wonderful to see such depth of desire for democracy in Israel." According to him, after receiving the results, he will "start the consultation process, listen to each faction, ask questions and conduct a dialogue." "One thing must be very clear, and I said it before the elections: we must do everything we can, especially after yesterday [with the high turnout], to avoid another round of elections," said the Israeli president. That's why I expect everyone who comes here to come with an open and receptive mind."
