The upcoming October 27 elections for the 26th Knesset, following the 25th Knesset’s full-term dissolution in July, represent the dominant factor shaping trader views on whether a new government will secure a vote of confidence by December 31. Recent polls show a fragmented landscape, with Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud-led bloc projected around 48–51 seats even including potential allies like Ofer Winter’s new People of Israel party, while opposition groupings led by figures such as Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett hold larger combined totals but face their own alliance hurdles. New entrants, possible threshold failures for parties like Religious Zionism, and ongoing right-wing tensions over joint tickets have added complexity to post-election negotiations. Israeli coalition-building has historically required extended talks after inconclusive results, with no immediate procedural deadline forcing rapid resolution before year-end. This environment underpins the modest edge for “No” in the market.
