Israel's next general election, due by the end of October 2026, represents the primary driver of trader sentiment on when Benjamin Netanyahu will leave office. In late April 2026, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid merged their parties into a unified bloc explicitly aimed at defeating Netanyahu's coalition. Recent polling shows this opposition alliance leading, reflecting sustained voter dissatisfaction over security policy and governance after the 2023 Hamas attack and subsequent multi-front conflicts. Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial and recent health disclosures add further uncertainty, while his current right-wing coalition faces internal pressures on issues like military conscription. These factors position the election as the most immediate mechanism for a potential leadership change.
