With the vote count completed, Israel’s political landscape pivots on whether Prime Minister Netanyahu can retain power. The Jerusalem Post reports that the Joint List and Ra'am have pledged support to Gadi Eisenkot for premiership, while President Isaac Herzog has opened coalition talks.
The early post‑count environment thus places Netanyahu at risk and elevates Eisenkot as the principal alternative. Herzog has urged party leaders to face the reality of the results and seek a solution that avoids a repeat election, The Times of Israel notes.
At the same time, Ynetnews highlights that recent Israeli attacks on Arab voters are being seized on by Hamas and Hezbollah as propaganda. Negotiations therefore continue under pressure from both the need for stability and the security narrative, leaving Netanyahu’s future still in flux.
