The Aporia · After Israel’s election: What’s next?

Ofer Cassif, an Israeli Knesset member from a Palestinian-led party, discusses the political deadlock in Israel following recent elections. He argues that with 15% of the vote going to Palestinian-led parties, Israeli leaders must now decide whether to collaborate with non-Zionist groups or face continued gridlock. Despite Netanyahu’s bloc receiving the most support, it lacks sufficient seats for a ruling coalition. Cassif emphasizes the need for a Jewish-Palestinian partnership moving forward.

Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Israelis voted in a parliamentary election for the Knesset, amid ongoing tensions from previous conflicts including Hamas's attacks in 2023 and the war in Gaza. The elections were seen as a critical moment to address issues such as military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews and how to respond to security failures. Former Israeli army chief Gadi Eisenkot emerged as a significant challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has held office for an extended period. Thousands rallied in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu, calling for a commission of inquiry into the October 7 attacks. Arab-Israeli parties were poised to play a crucial role in potentially forming an opposition alliance aimed at removing Netanyahu from power. Palestinian-led parties secured 19 seats in the election, marking a historic result and complicating future coalition-building efforts. The election outcome was inconclusive, raising questions about potential political gridlock and the normalization of extreme nationalism in Israel's politics.
