Israeli President Isaac Herzog called upon the leaders of the center-left bloc to help establish a national unity government, after the right-wing bloc won a majority of seats in the Knesset election last week, Channel 12 reported Tuesday.
The report claimed that after the vote count was completed last week, Herzog urged Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to agree to form a national unity government, with both leaders reportedly refusing.
On Tuesday, President Herzog appealed to Lapid and Gantz a second time, the report claimed, asking them to rethink their decision. Again, both leaders said they would under no circumstances sit in a government with Likud chief Benjamin Netanyahu.
