Elections in Israel: Blocs compete for power, but maintain support for the genocide in Gaza Preliminary results show Netanyahu's advantage, but without a parliamentary majority. An analysis by Xavier Villar emphasizes that despite political differences, the main Israeli blocs maintain the same orientation in relation to Gaza and Iran. With 85% of the votes counted, the Likud, the party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its allies from the extreme right and ultra-religious, accounted for 53 of the 120 seats in the Israeli parliament. The bloc headed by Gadi Eisenkot, former Chief of Staff of the army, appeared with 48. None of the groups reached the 61 seats needed to form a majority. The dispute over the formation of a coalition may involve Arab parties, but Eisenkot's allies are already opposed to this possibility. If no bloc manages to garner enough support, Israel may hold new elections, a scenario that could also favor Netanyahu by prolonging his stay at the center of political controversy. In an analysis published by HispanTV, journalist Javier Villar claims that Netanyahu's departure will not represent a profound change in Israeli politics. Although Eisenkot defends differences in the conduct of the war and the management of the government, he also sees Iran's nuclear program and military capabilities as threats that must be combated. The continuity, according to the journalist, is even more pronounced in relation to Palestine. Villar claims that none of the main blocs question the genocide in Gaza or its goals. According to the author, the differences between the Israeli right, center and liberal sector mainly concern the style of government, and not the political structure that supports the occupation and violence against the Palestinians.
