The Story
More than a day after polls closed in Israel’s Tuesday national election, official results remain unclear, according to analysis shared in a podcast segment published Oct. 29, 2026.
The segment said neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, is projected to form a majority government.
The discussion focused on how coalition dynamics could play out in the days ahead, including the impact of the Arab vote and obstacles facing a possible unity government.
In the segment, Aurel Braun, an international relations professor at the University of Toronto, discussed the coalition “calculus” that could shape which political partners might be able to put together a workable arrangement.
