Israel faces what many view as one of the most pivotal elections in the country’s history.
The election will determine the composition of the 120‑member Knesset, the nation’s unicameral parliament, and set the direction of policy for the coming years.
Israel’s parliamentary system typically requires parties to negotiate coalitions, as no single party has historically secured an outright majority.
These coalition talks can be protracted, as parties must reconcile differing policy priorities and secure enough seats to form a stable government.
While the outcome of the vote remains uncertain, the process of assembling a governing coalition is expected to be a key factor in how quickly a new government can take office.
