Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds onto power through his Likud-led coalition, but faces intensifying pressure from a newly united opposition alliance of former premiers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, who aim to oust him ahead of mandatory Knesset elections by October 27, 2026. Recent polls signal his coalition trailing badly, fueled by war weariness from Gaza operations, economic strains, and Tel Aviv protests demanding resignation over security failures. Strains in U.S. relations, including reported tensions with President Trump, add uncertainty, while no-confidence motions have repeatedly failed. Traders monitor coalition fractures, potential snap election triggers, and judicial proceedings that could precipitate his exit.
