Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office leading a right-wing coalition government amid the ongoing military campaign against Iran, with recent Israeli airstrikes eliminating Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders as noted in his March 26 statement. The Knesset's approval of the 2026 state budget on March 29 averted early elections, stabilizing the government despite persistent tensions over ultra-Orthodox conscription exemptions, where unresolved legislation could trigger automatic dissolution. Debunked rumors of Netanyahu's resignation or death from Iranian missile strikes fueled short-term speculation but had no impact. Legislative elections are due by October 27, 2026, though a no-confidence vote or snap election remains possible if coalition partners defect.
