October 30, 2026

In the recent Israeli elections, Benjamin Netanyahu emerged as the frontrunner, but his coalition failed to secure the necessary majority in the Knesset. His alliance gathered 53 seats, while the opposition claimed 48 seats. Voter turnout was notably high at 77%, the highest in years. Allegations of electoral fraud were made regarding the support of Arab parties from Qatar. These tensions may lead to a political crisis in the country.
