Israel's election commission has officially confirmed the final results of the October 27 vote, dealing a blow to Benjamin Netanyahu after it rejected his claims of voting fraud. The decision followed earlier developments in which the attorney general blocked a call from Shin Bet to interrogate politicians from Palestinian-led parties.
As the election outcome was finalized, Netanyahu's allies refused to back the confirmed results. Amid the political fallout, President Isaac Herzog has begun discussions regarding who should form the next government.
The confirmation of the vote sets the stage for the upcoming government formation process, though political tensions remain high following the disputed election claims and the refusal of Netanyahu's allies to accept the results.
