The Aporia · Israel elections 2026 live: Netanyahu and far-right coalition face first vote since October 7 and Gaza invasion

Benjamin Netanyahu is facing his first election since the October 7 attacks on Tuesday, with polls showing the governing far-right coalition almost tied with the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot. The election comes amid significant societal division and half a million new voters casting ballots for the first time. Netanyahu has received endorsement from former US President Donald Trump but the current White House stance is against attacking Iran before November’s midterm elections in the United States.

Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israel held parliamentary elections following three years of conflict in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. The election was seen as a critical moment for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's future, with tens of thousands rallying against him in Tel Aviv before the vote. Arab-Israeli parties, which won a record 19 seats, emerged as potential kingmakers but face challenges due to political conditions set by opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot and right-wing politician Avigdor Lieberman. The election results were inconclusive, with no clear majority for any party, leading to potential prolonged negotiations or another election.
