Israel's emissaries around the world have begun voting in the Knesset elections. President Isaac Herzog visited the Israeli Embassy in Azerbaijan and said that 'these elections are a celebration of democracy in Israel and in its embassies abroad.' He added: 'I call on all citizens to exercise their right to vote and influence Israel's future. These are very important elections after a difficult period for the State of Israel, and the main thing I want to say to all Israeli citizens is that elections are not a civil war. On the contrary, this is our real process to influence our lives and determine the direction in which the country is headed.'
