Alert halts Israeli talks
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has begun consultations on forming a new government. The Shas and Religious Zionism parties backed tasking Benjamin Netanyahu with forming it, amid disagreements over the participation of Arab parties in the coalition and the conscription of Haredim into the army. Entry procedures at the presidential residence were temporarily halted after a security alert during the screening of a foreign journalist, but checks ruled out a security incident. Herzog is due to hear from the remaining blocs, including Gadi Eisenkot’s party and Likud, before deciding whom to task with forming the government. Political divisions remain an obstacle to reaching a coalition agreement.
