There are concerns that Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government, with cabinet members that include Itamar Ben-Gvir - who has been convicted of incitement to racism - and settlement supporter Bezalel Smotrich, could bring about an effective annexation of West Bank land.
"In their meeting, President Herzog expressed deep concern and presented to Mr Ben-Gvir voices from large sections of the nation and the Jewish world concerned about the incoming government," a statement said.
The European Union has cancelled a proposed cooperation agreement between Europol and the Israeli police, believed to be a result of fears it would allow Mr Ben-Gvir access to sensitive intelligence, and in protest at plans to change the status for illegal settlers in the West Bank. Mr Netanyahu, who has burned many bridges over his long career and alienated political allies, must head this fragile coalition.
