Israel Elections 2026

Shin Bet chief David Zini wants to expand the foreign election interference probe, but three senior officials oppose using additional methods, KAN reports.

According to a statement released by the party, Bennett has told Eisenkot that the party supports him receiving the mandate to form the next government.

The Central Elections Committee chairman also stressed that nothing in his statement was intended to cast aspersions on the voting of the Arab community.

The response we encountered in Arab communities was deeply moving. People did not simply express their support. They took the initiative themselves, and convinced others to go out and vote.

Netanyahu may be in a position Trump could soon recognize: still holding the highest office, but facing a legislature he can no longer count on to advance his agenda.

The next coalition agreement should include a commitment to put a stable framework for planning, building permits, and property taxation into law, and to establish how that framework can be changed.

If Israel ends up with a unity government, the country will get moderation whether it voted for it or not. The majority Zionist public will land in the middle for lack of anywhere else to go.

Israel’s Jewish identity should never be an excuse to deny equality to Arab citizens. And equality for Arab citizens should not require abandoning the Jewish national character of the state.

It is bad enough to discover that Jews can be every bit as racist as anyone else. But where is common sense? Where is political logic?

The international rating agency warns that the lack of a majority to form a government will lead to the dissolution of the Knesset and repeat elections in April.
