[Iran Press TV] Isaac Herzog, who competed and lost against Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's parliamentary elections, has said he would not join the current prime minister in the next coalition regime.
Herzog contested the Tuesday elections on the center-left Zionist Union party's ticket, menacing Netanyahu (pictured below), who represented the ruling Likud party in the race. Results, which defied opinion surveys prior to the polls, gave Likud 30 seats in the 120-member Knesset (Israeli parliament), while the Zionist Union secured 24. |
