President Isaac Herzog stated Tuesday evening that general elections will be held in about three months and urged the public to avoid civil war. The statement, reported by The Zioneer, follows a similar plea by Herzog on June 30, when he said elections are not civil war and that opposing the government does not make one an enemy. The current message adds a specific timeframe of 'about three months.' The exact election date has not been set, but the timeline aligns with the political calendar, with party lists due to close in 57 days, as journalist Amit Segal (N12) noted on July 12. The Zioneer has also reported on Prime Minister Netanyahu's stated intention to form a broad national unity government.
