Israel’s October 27, 2026 Knesset election features 38 lists competing under proportional representation for 120 seats, with a 3.25% national threshold required to enter parliament. Recent polls show the pro-Netanyahu bloc (Likud plus allies Shas, United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, and Religious Zionism–Zehut) averaging roughly 50–52 seats and the main opposition bloc (Yashar led by Gadi Eisenkot, Together/B’Yachad, Democrats, and Yisrael Beytenu) at 50–54 seats—neither reaching the 61-seat majority. Arab lists (Joint List and Ra’am) project around 13 seats, while parties such as the Reservists–Economic alliance and Amcha Yisrael sit near or below the threshold, where small swings can shift final allocations. Surplus-vote pacts are finalized and overseas voting has begun ahead of election night.
