67 endorsements were secured for the prime‑ministerial race after the Arab Joint List pledged backing over Netanyahu, a shift that tightens the lead for the candidate with the most cross‑community support. The traditional United Torah Judaism party declined to recommend any candidate, and the ultra‑Orthodox party’s withheld support, as Reuters notes, further erodes Netanyahu’s standing.
This realignment comes as both Eisenkot and Netanyahu race to assemble governing coalitions, according to live updates. Ynetnews detailed the endorsement tally, Reuters highlighted the ultra‑Orthodox party’s stance, and i24NEWS noted United Torah Judaism’s neutrality, while the Jerusalem Post offered live coverage of the competing bids.
What remains unclear is which coalition partners will ultimately co‑alesce and the timeline for forming a government.
