President Isaac Herzog is set to begin coalition consultations Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2026, following the submission of official results by Central Elections Committee Chair Noam Solberg. The candidate tasked with forming a government is expected to begin official duties by end of week. Hundreds of Israelis rallied Oct. 31 in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem demanding an opposition-Arab alliance. Five scenarios for resolving the deadlock have been outlined by Israeli analysts. Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas expressed willingness to join a coalition, while Joint List's Ahmed Tibi offered external parliamentary support without ministerial portfolios.
