Briefings

A recent Israeli general election resulted in Netanyahu's Likud party securing the most seats, yet the formation of a stable government remains a significant challenge. The evidence indicates that while the bloc won the majority, the political landscape is fragmented, requiring further negotiation to achieve a working coalition. This situation highlights the difficulty of translating electoral victories into immediate executive power.

Key points

• Netanyahu's Likud-led bloc won the most seats in the general election, but forming a government is another battle
• The election occurred in November 2025, resulting in a fragmented parliament where coalition building is the primary obstacle to governance.
