Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin nominates PM Benjamin Netanyahu to form a govt following latest inconclusive election.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the thirteenth Knesset (1992–1996) it was decided to hold a separate ballot for prime minister modeled after American presidential elections.

If no candidate receives an absolute majority of votes in the first or second round of voting, the candidate with the least votes is eliminated in each subsequent round, if needed until only two remain.
