On October 28, 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the formation of a right-wing government after exit polls indicated that his political bloc did not secure a majority in the elections. Speaking to his supporters in Jerusalem, Netanyahu emphasized the importance of right-wing leadership for the country.
Exit Poll Results
According to exit polls, the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, remained the largest party in Israel but failed to obtain enough votes to form a government without support from other parties. This posed a significant challenge for Netanyahu, who was trying to strengthen his position in the political arena.
Call for a Right-Wing Government
In his speech, Netanyahu stated that Israel should not rely on parties led by Arabs and called for the unification of right-wing forces to create a stable government. He expressed confidence that a right-wing government could ensure the security and prosperity of the country.
