Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israelis voted in a high-stakes election with a record-high voter turnout of 77.9%. The race was closely contested between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and the centrist Yashar party led by retired Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot. No clear winner emerged from the election, leaving uncertainty about which party could form the next government. Arab-majority lists were poised to play a significant role as potential kingmakers due to their voter base’s dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's leadership. The election results have raised concerns over Israel's internal divisions and its ability to address pressing security issues.
