Isaac Herzog is set to become Israel’s 11th president after winning Wednesday’s election against Miriam Peretz, in a secret ballot among the country’s 120 lawmakers.
Herzog will succeed Reuven Rivlin as the latter’s term ends on July 9.
Eighty-seven lawmakers voted for Herzog, while 27 voted for Peretz. He will officially replace outgoing President Reuven Rivlin next month, with his seven-year term beginning on July 9.

Herzog, currently the head of the Jewish Agency, is also a former leader of the Labor party in 2013-2017.
