Israel's right-wing bloc shows no sign of losing electoral dominance even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party faces significant seat losses, Middle East Eye reported. The 2026 election remains too close to call, with voters appearing unmoved by recent political turbulence affecting the prime minister personally.
Netanyahu's political fortunes have deteriorated, but the broader rightist coalition retains cohesion and voter support. The outcome will hinge on coalition arithmetic rather than any fundamental shift in the electorate's ideological orientation.
