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.
