Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, accepted the official results of the vote, which were handed to him by Justice Solberg, head of the Central Elections Committee.¹² The meeting took place on 4 November at the presidential residence in Jerusalem and was broadcast live online.¹²

What Herzog said

Herzog said he was receiving the official results and approving them in accordance with the law.¹² He expressed full confidence in the investigations by the Shin Bet, the internal security service, and the police, and said that any suspicion of foreign interference must be investigated. He asked for patience until the investigations are complete and said he also trusts the attorney general, convinced that she will cooperate with the Shin Bet.¹² The president opened consultations on the day, 31 years ago, when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. He called the date a warning about what can happen when disagreements turn into hatred and political rivalry spills over into violence.¹ For Herzog, there is no place for violence, whether physical or verbal, whether against individuals or against entire sectors of society.¹

Justice Solberg’s warning

Solberg said that “trying to discredit them is dangerous.” Speaking alongside Herzog, he explained that rumors are circulating that seek to undermine the election result and that this poses a real danger.¹² In his view, these rumors jeopardize the possibility of a peaceful change of government.¹ The justice added that the democratic rules of the game must be respected and the voters’ decision recognized, with action taken accordingly. He also announced a response to a situation in which “all the parties are winners.”¹ Solberg reported that serious suspicions have emerged and will have to be addressed. According to him, all sides are working to establish the truth, and it is not possible to go further.¹
