Final pre-election polls in Israel show neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition "change bloc" is projected to win the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority in next week's election. Polls predict a continued political stalemate, with several small parties failing to cross the electoral threshold. If no coalition can be formed, repeat elections could be held in early 2027, with Netanyahu remaining as caretaker premier.
