On October 28, 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the formation of a national right-wing government without relying on parties led by Arabs. This call came during his speech at the election headquarters of the Likud party in Jerusalem.
Exit Poll Results
According to preliminary exit poll data, neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition is securing the 61 seats needed to form a majority in the Knesset. This raises questions about the possibility of a swift government formation, as no political force has sufficient support to obtain a controlling share of votes.
Political Prospects
Netanyahu emphasized that the right-wing bloc has a decisive majority; however, his statements may be perceived as an attempt to mobilize support among voters who favor right-wing political forces. In the context of the political uncertainty that arises after elections, it is crucial to understand what steps can be taken to achieve stability in the country.
