What happened
In July 2026 polls, eight right-wing Knesset seats shifted between Likud, Bennett, and Eizenkot, reflecting voter search for a new right-wing alternative. These voters remain right-wing but seek a liberal, security-focused party distinct from Netanyahu's Likud. The right-wing bloc's renewal and expansion hinge on forming a party that balances security, democracy, and judicial reform, appealing culturally to centrist voters. The election outcome will determine both Netanyahu's future and the right's ability to unite its diverse base.
