Israel's October 27 Election Polls Point to Deadlock

Israel votes October 27, 2026, in a race that polls show as close to deadlock. A Channel 12 poll put Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party first with 23 seats in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, against 21 for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud. Polls for months had predicted Netanyahu's coalition would lose its majority.
