Broadcast Executive Summary
Israel faces a potentially lengthy political standoff after the October 27, 2026 election, as Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot compete to form the next government. Initial exit polls placed both major blocs at around 51 seats each in the 120-seat Knesset, below the 61 seats required for a governing majority. As vote counting continued on October 28, projections shifted, with Netanyahu’s bloc moving ahead but still short of a majority. The figures remain subject to change as more ballots are counted. Palestinian parties are also projected to make substantial gains, potentially increasing their representation from 10 seats
