Making Sense of Israel’s Election
Join Aaron David Miller as he engages Natan Sachs in a wide-ranging conversation analyzing the results of an election that will carry huge implications for Israel, the region, and the U.S.-Israeli relationship, on Carnegie Connects.
Published on Nov 5, 2026
On October 27th, Israelis will go to the polls in perhaps the most consequential election in their history. Politics in Israel are historically fractious, with the length of an Israeli government averaging about 1.2 years since 1948. The current Benjamin Netanyahu-led government, elected in 2022, was the first since 1988 to last through a full four-year term. Many consider this upcoming election to be a referendum on Netanyahu, the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history. Polls have consistently indicated neither the current coalition nor the opposition have enough seats to form a government. Will Netanyahu’s tenure reach its end? What are the chances the opposition will prevail? How likely is a continued stalemate with Netanyahu remaining a caretaker prime minister and the possibility of another election?
