Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israel held parliamentary elections following three years of conflict in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

Arab-led parties secured 19 seats, potentially holding the key to forming a government. President Isaac Herzog has called for negotiations between all parties with an "open heart" to avoid new elections and stabilize the country's uncertain political situation.
