Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with Jewish Agency chairman Isaac Herzog, who is running for president.

Netanyahu has refrained from endorsing a candidate in the Wednesday vote. Herzog, a former Labor chairman and opposition leader, is running against Miriam Peretz.

The parliamentary vote for the next president will be held in a secret ballot among the 120 members of Knesset.
