**Israeli politics centers on coalition-building in the 120-seat Knesset, where 61 seats are required for a majority.** The Knesset dissolved on July 17, 2026, after completing a full term—the first since 1988—setting legislative elections for October 27. Current polling averages project Netanyahu’s Likud-led bloc at roughly 49–52 seats and the main opposition camp near 56–60, leaving both short of a majority and dependent on smaller parties, including Arab lists, for any workable coalition. Trader consensus prices a single election at 77 percent, reflecting expectations that post-election negotiations will produce a government despite fragmentation and longstanding reluctance among some opposition factions to align with Netanyahu. A second round carries 21.5 percent odds, consistent with Israel’s recent history of repeated votes when initial coalitions fail. Higher outcomes remain marginal given the scheduled timeline and absence of immediate triggers for further dissolution. Upcoming coalition talks after October 27 represent the primary near-term catalyst that could shift these probabilities.
