JERUSALEM: Israeli President Isaac Herzog officially tasked former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday with forming a new government, citing recommendations he received from other parliament members after a strong showing in a November 1 election.
In a televised ceremony, Herzog noted Netanyahu’s corruption trial – in which the candidate denies wrongdoing – but added that this did not pose a legal obstacle to his retaking top office.
