precedent
No government before the President tasks a member, which follows the official results. 2022: President Herzog began consultations on 9 Nov, the day the results were published, and tasked Netanyahu on 13 Nov; the government was sworn in on 29 Dec 2022. The window opens once the 4 Nov results day ends.
After the results the President consults the factions and tasks a Knesset member with forming a government; extensions are common (2022: extended to 21 Dec). A government market needs a deadline beyond the longest precedent. Precedents: 58, 82 days from polling day.
