General elections are going to be held in Israel on October 27, 2026 Prime Minister Netanyahu is being seen as an important referendum regarding the leadership of

According to Arab media, in recent public opinion polls, Netanyahu’s governing coalition is lagging behind the opposition.

In a recent survey, the opposition parties are predicted to get 57 seats while Netanyahu’s bloc is predicted to get 51 seats.

According to the report, Netanyahu is Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. In the past years, Netanyahu’s government has made the war with Hamas in Gaza, the confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the tension with Iran the center of its national security policy.

Arab media say that smaller parties run the risk of splitting the vote, while in Israel a party must win at least 3.25 percent of the vote for parliamentary representation.

At this time, the possibility of Netanyahu becoming prime minister again is not over, but recent polls do not show Netanyahu as the clear favorite leader.

According to Arab media, the real decision of the election will depend on how well the right-wing parties keep their vote together and whether the opposition manages the 61 seats needed to form a government in the 120-member Knesset.

According to the claim made in the special report of the Arab media, there is a possibility that Netanyahu will come back to power, but in the current political situation, he is facing a tough competition and the opposition seems to be in a relatively strong position at the moment.
