The Aporia · Israel’s stock market drops as exit polls show no clear election winner

No summary of this article yet; the story summary below covers the event.

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.
