Israel's President Isaac Herzog has been tasked with persuading the country's feuding party leaders to form a government, according to Al-Monitor. Herzog, described as mild-mannered, faces the challenge of brokering deals among fractious political factions in what has become an increasingly contentious political environment.
The president's diplomatic efforts come as Israeli politics grows more polarized, with rival parties locked in what observers characterize as a "bare-knuckled brawl" over governing priorities and coalition terms.
