Quick Summary

Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized Palestinian-Israeli voters for “stealing” the election after their parties gained a record 19 seats. This outcome allows the main opposition bloc to potentially form a coalition that could replace Netanyahu as prime minister, given his party's failure to secure a majority. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh provides this report on the political shift in Israel.

Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israelis voted in a national election amid ongoing tensions from years of conflict with Hamas and other groups. The vote pitted incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against retired General Gadi Eisenkot, who leads the centrist Yashar party. Despite predictions that Yashar might win 20 out of 120 seats, the final results showed no single bloc securing an overall majority in parliament as of October 29. This stalemate leaves both Netanyahu and opposition leaders scrambling to form coalition governments. Ahead of the election, thousands rallied in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu, calling for a state commission of inquiry into security failures during recent attacks. Following the vote, allegations of voter fraud by Arab parties emerged, prompting Israel’s election monitor to demand an investigation.
