Israeli Knesset election 2026 (October 27): Neither the Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition bloc secures a stable 61-seat coalition majority (confirmed by Israeli Election Committee or Haaretz by October 28, 2026)
Probability
73%
Current polls (September 2026) consistently place Netanyahu's coalition bloc below the required 61-seat majority in 4 of 5 surveys. Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party leads in 4 of 5 polls as the strongest single party. Arab parties again hold the potential balance of power. This prediction is independent of and does not contradict the existing Cassandra prediction (Likud as the seat-strongest single party): a party can be the largest single party without its bloc reaching a majority. Israel has held six elections since 2019, repeatedly ending without a stable majority — a structural deadlock pattern. The only scenario against this prediction would be an unexpected consolidation of small coalition partners pushing the bloc just above 61 seats.
