Briefing: Israel's 2026 Election: The Coalition Deadlock

In this situational briefing, I am joined by Ruth Wasserman Lande, Analyst at The MirYam Institute, and former MK and Deputy Ambassador to Egypt.
Together, we examine the political deadlock following Israel's 2026 elections, where neither bloc has secured the 61 mandates required to form a governing coalition.
We assess potential paths forward, including whether figures such as Naftali Bennett or Gadi Eisenkot might cross the political aisle, the severe instability of a minority government, and the looming prospect of repeat elections.
