Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israelis went to the polls in a general election. The fragmented outcome showed that Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition finished with 53 seats, falling short of the 61-seat majority needed for control of the Knesset. In contrast, the opposition bloc led by retired Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot secured 48 seats, while Arab parties garnered the remaining 19 seats. With no single bloc reaching a majority, Netanyahu's party now faces difficult coalition negotiations or the possibility of another election if talks fail. Netanyahu has accused Palestinian-Israeli parties of election fraud, further complicating efforts to form a new government.
