75. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has discussed the outcome of the Israeli Knesset elections with his counterparts in Europe; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17628/19]

The final results of the Israeli election were only declared last Friday. The consultation process for coalition building has only begun, and it may be some weeks before the new Government is formed. As had been widely predicted, a coalition similar to the outgoing Government seems the most likely outcome. I have not yet discussed the results with EU colleagues.
