Israel's parliamentary system requires post-election coalition negotiations to secure a 61-seat Knesset majority for government formation, with the upcoming October 27, 2026 vote following the July dissolution marking the first contest since 2022. Current polling shows Netanyahu's right-wing bloc near 50 seats and opposition parties around 58-60, leaving Arab factions as potential swing votes that both major camps have often excluded from coalitions. This fragmentation, combined with the new Bennett-Lapid "Together" alliance and mixed surveys on bloc strength, underpins trader views that one election will likely produce a viable government. Historical cycles of repeated votes in deadlocked scenarios support the secondary probability on two elections, while the low odds on three or more reflect limited recent precedent for prolonged stalemate given the fixed timeline and party positioning.
