  "summary": "Benjamin Netanyahu’s alliance is leading in early election results, according to the Daily Times, but remains short of a parliamentary majority. Preliminary figures indicate the alliance is ahead of its rivals as vote counting continues, though neither major political bloc has secured enough seats to form a government independently.\n\nFollowing Tuesday's vote for the 26th Knesset, President Isaac Herzog called on political leaders to approach coalition negotiations with open minds. The Jerusalem Post reports that Herzog warned the country must do everything possible to avoid another round of elections during upcoming consultations at the President's Residence.",
