President Isaac Herzog’s scheduled consultations with parliamentary faction leaders were delayed after a suspect object triggered a security alarm at the President’s Residence. Bomb disposal units were dispatched to investigate the item discovered during security screening, forcing temporary evacuations. The incident occurred as Herzog was beginning a two-day round of talks to decide which faction leader will be tasked with forming the new government. (Reported by Walla, Jerusalem Post, and Ynet)
