Israel’s 26th Knesset election on 27 October 2026 follows the automatic dissolution of the prior legislature on 17 July after a full term. Traders assign 77% probability to a government forming after this single round because the proportional-representation system and 61-seat threshold have historically produced workable coalitions once votes are tallied, even amid fragmentation. Recent polling shows Likud competitive with opposition lists such as Bennett-Lapid’s Together and Eisenkot’s Yashar, while right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties remain near the threshold; these dynamics imply post-election bargaining among Zionist parties can reach a majority without Arab factions. The 21.5% chance assigned to two elections reflects residual uncertainty over coalition arithmetic and potential Haredi-draft or security-policy sticking points that could trigger renewed deadlock, consistent with past cycles. No developments since July have altered the scheduled timeline or introduced immediate barriers to negotiation.
