Israel Elections 2026: What's at Stake
Israel will hold a national election on October 27, its first since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that pulled the country into wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. Polls point to a clear defeat for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Israel's fractured political system means no outcome is guaranteed until a coalition actually forms. The election is expected to be a closely contested affair, with several parties vying for power. The main contenders include Netanyahu's Likud party, the Blue and White party, and the Joint List party. The election is expected to be a closely watched affair, with international observers monitoring the proceedings.
