Netanyahu May Seek New Elections or Ally with Bennett if Bloc Falls Short

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party is privately discussing a potential outcome of 55-56 seats in upcoming elections, which could lead to seeking repeat elections or attempting to ally with Naftali Bennett. Such a result would complicate the opposing camp's efforts to form a government, potentially requiring significant Arab party support. The Likud's main objective appears to be preventing rivals from forming a coalition, even if Netanyahu himself cannot form one.
