Herzog Seeks to Heal Rift
Israeli President Isaac Herzog is trying to mediate between the rival political camps and persuade them to form a broad-based government, in order to avoid another election and contain internal divisions. The October 27 election showed that Benjamin Netanyahu had failed to secure a majority, while his opponents had failed to agree on an alternative. Experts doubt Herzog can bring the rivals together, while assessments suggest he may give one of the candidates the mandate to form a government and work behind the scenes to broker a compromise between the Netanyahu and Eisenkot camps. Herzog is also facing pressure, including calls from U.S. President Donald Trump to pardon Netanyahu, amid speculation that Netanyahu’s criminal cases could be used as part of negotiations over forming a government.
