Quick Summary

Israeli voters are set to elect a new prime minister on Tuesday, with many indicating they want to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from power due to corruption and criticism of his leadership during recent conflicts. While Netanyahu's approval ratings have dropped, it remains uncertain if any of the main challengers can form a coalition strong enough to replace him. The article features insights from voters and analyst Dahlia Scheindlin on Netanyahu’s challenges and potential successors.

Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israelis voted in parliamentary elections after three years marked by war and conflict. The main contest was between incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition, which won 53 seats, and the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party, projected to win 20 of 120 seats. Arab-majority lists could play a decisive role as kingmakers due to their potential support for either side under certain conditions. Despite Netanyahu's victory in terms of seat count, forming a government remains challenging because neither bloc has achieved the required majority. President Isaac Herzog will consult with party leaders on November 8 to decide who should form the next government.
