A look at the main issues in Israeli elections seen as a referendum on Netanyahu

Voters in Israel are casting their ballots on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, for the first general election held since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. The election serves as a referendum on the political future and leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Since no single party is expected to win an outright majority of 61 seats, post-election coalition negotiations will determine who becomes the new prime minister.
