Quick Summary

Israel's recent elections did not produce a clear winner, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing alliance nor the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot securing enough votes to form a government alone. The election saw a record turnout and marked gains for Palestinian citizens of Israel, raising questions about potential alliances between these parties and either side as they attempt to cobble together majorities in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks.
