POLICY WIRE — Jerusalem, Israel — The president of Israel has officially accepted the certified election results, a move that significantly undermines assertions made by Benjamin Netanyahu regarding potential vote fraud.

Following the formal certification, Gadi Eisenkot is set to receive the mandate to form the next Israeli government. This development comes after 67 lawmakers formally recommended Eisenkot for the role of prime minister.

The political shift marks a weakened position for Netanyahu as Eisenkot secures broad legislative backing in his attempt to establish a coalition.
