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.
