Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office leading a weakening coalition amid the ongoing Iran war—now over six weeks old—and intensified operations in Lebanon, yet these military efforts have yielded no political gains per recent analysis. A fresh Maariv poll underscores persistent government weakness, projecting an opposition majority of 61 Knesset seats against Likud's stagnant 25, fueling speculation on coalition fractures over Haredi draft exemptions and security failures. No no-confidence vote or snap election has advanced in the past 30 days, with legislative elections scheduled by October 27, 2026. Traders eye intra-coalition rifts, diplomatic shifts, and Netanyahu's re-election bid as pivotal factors for potential early exit via resignation or parliamentary ouster.
