Final polls before Israel's upcoming election show neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition "change bloc" is projected to win the 61 seats needed to form a government. Several smaller parties, including those led by Ofer Winter and Moti Leitner, are expected to fall short of the electoral threshold. If no coalition can be formed, the country could face repeat elections in early 2027, with Benjamin Netanyahu remaining as caretaker prime minister.
