توقع: Who will be the next Prime Minister of Israel after the next election?

Platform comparison

Market context

Israel will hold its next parliamentary election on 27 October 2026, widely seen as a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership following the Gaza war, with the market pricing a 37% chance that he remains the next sworn-in Prime Minister. Historical precedent suggests this probability is understated: Israel has completed a full four-year term only once since 1992, and deadlock elections frequently leave the incumbent in office as interim leader until a coalition forms, meaning Netanyahu could retain power even without a clear majority [2][4].

The race has consolidated into three plausible candidates—Netanyahu, Yair Lapid, and Naftali Bennett—whose joint party Beyachad now polls at 26 seats, narrowly ahead of Likud’s 25–26, yet both blocs remain short of the 61 seats needed for government formation [4][12]. Traders must watch for a potential snap election: the Knesset voted preliminarily in May 2026 to dissolve parliament, which could trigger voting as early as mid-August, accelerating resolution and altering coalition dynamics [8][10]. Key dependencies include the fate of Haredi draft exemptions, coalition stability over the state budget, and whether Bennett’s comeback can bridge centrist and right-wing factions to break the stalemate [6][9].
