Final opinion polls ahead of Israel’s October 27, 2026, parliamentary election indicate that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor the opposition is projected to secure a clear majority. Surveys by Israeli broadcasters place Netanyahu’s coalition at around 50 seats, while the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot is projected to win between 52 and 56 seats. A party or coalition needs 61 seats in the 120-member Knesset to form a majority government. The results suggest potential political deadlock, making smaller parties and coalition negotiations crucial to determining Israel’s next government.
