Israel’s October 27 election could leave the country facing another political deadlock, even if Benjamin Netanyahu or his challenger Gadi Eisenkot wins the most seats. Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, has 120 seats, and a government needs the support of at least 61 lawmakers. Neither political bloc has a clear path to a majority, according to recent polling. Eisenkot’s opposition alliance may need support from Arab parties to form a government, but he has ruled out aligning with them. Netanyahu could also struggle to secure enough support. If no bloc forms a government, Israel may face fresh elections in 2027. (PC: News18)
